Lecture 3

The document discusses static loads on ships including stillwater loads, lightship weight items, and dead weight items. It explains static equilibrium as buoyancy force equaling weight. It also covers shear force and bending moment diagrams resulting from differences between weight and buoyancy curves along the vessel. An example problem is given about calculating load, bending moment and shear force diagrams for a box barge with specifications and cargo loads provided.

Loads on ships

Static loads:

Do not change over a short period of time

 Stillwater loads: External hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy forces,

 Lightship weight items: machinery, fittings and fixtures, piping, steering

gear, other fixed equipments etc.

 Dead weight items: Cargo, fuel, water etc.

Static Equilibrium

Buoyancy Force on ship = Weight of ship


Ship Displacement
Static Equilibrium
Shear Force & Bending Moment

 Local segments of the vessel may have more or less weight


than the local buoyancy

 Difference between weight and buoyancy curves gives the


shear forces along the vessel

f(x) = b(x) – w(x)

Shear Force:

Bending Moment:
Shear Force & Bending Moment
Application Problem
 A box barge is 60 m long with a beam of 10 m.
The ship floats at a lightship draft of 0.524 m in
salt water. The barge in separated into three equal
size compartments, each 20 m long. Two end
compartments are each loaded with 300 tonnes of
cargo, evenly distributed along the length and
beam of the compartment. Draw the load, bending
moments and shear force diagrams.
