Ultimate strength performance of bulk carriers with various corrosion additions

Experimental and numerical strength assessment of stiffened plates subjected to severe non-uniform corrosion degradation and compressive load

“…They have found that, when corrosion spreads transversely on both edges, it has the most deteriorating effect on strength. Kim et al (2015) studied the ultimate strength performance of bulk carriers with various corrosion additions. Saad-Eldeen et al (2012a) studied the initial and postcollapse plate deflections based on measurement records of the experiments of three corroded box girders subjected to pure vertical bending loading.…”

Statistical properties of bulk carrier longitudinal strength

“…In the "Pre-CSR period", i.e. before 1st April 2006 [15], each individual classification body developed own rules, producing a variety of different standards. To homogenize structural and maintenance requirements and reduce classification societies' competition, after a three-year extensive work, by 1st April 2006 IACS members adopted the common structural rules (CSR) for bulk carriers [9] and oil tankers [10].…”

“…The main objective of the study was to validate the actual approach and support the development of new ones for the ultimate strength assessment of box girder type structures, accounting for relevant deterioration effects along the entire service life. Finally Kim et al (2014b) [15] investigated various types of industry corrosion addition practices, with regard to the ultimate strength performance of several bulk carriers, namely 37 K (Handysize), 57 K (Supramax), 82 K (Kamsarmax), and 181 K (Capesize), obtaining useful results concerning the impact of different corrosion additions on the ultimate strength capacity.…”

Reliability analysis of novel stiffened panels using Monte Carlo simulation

“…During the maintenance and operation of ship structures, it may no longer be adequate to consider the uncertainties determined at the design and construction stages. For this reason, through the past 10-20 years, continuous research providing and investigating different corrosion models on ultimate strength of ship structures as well as combining reliability-based procedures with ship structures' ultimate strength and effects of time-dependent corrosion wastage and fatigue have been carried out by several authors (Paik et al 1997;Wirsching et al 1997;Paik et al 1998;Garbatov 1999a, 1999b;Soares and Teixeira 2000;Sun and Bai 2000;Akpan et al 2002Akpan et al , 2003Paik, Wang, et al 2003;Sun and Bai 2003;Moatsos and Das 2005;Chowdhury 2007;Paik and Melchers 2008;Ivanov 2009;Makouei et al 2014;Kim et al 2015).…”
