Section 6 Other local loads

6.1 General

6.1.1 This section gives formulations for design pressure loads for shell closing appliances and requirements for gravity and inertial loads due to equipment, payload, cargo, etc. acting on ramps and lifting appliances.

6.2 Loads for ramps and lifts, P ra

6.2.1 The loads acting on ramps and lifts intended to be used at sea, P ra, is to be derived as follows:

P ra = W cd (1 + f d (a z + a ra)) kN/m2

where

W cd = is the equivalent static pressure exerted by the cargo on the ramp or lift as specified by the designer in kN/m2.
a z = is the non dimensional vertical acceleration given in Vol 1, Pt 5, Ch 3, 2.3 Design accelerations 2.3.2
a ra = maximum acceleration of the lift, see Vol 1, Pt 5, Ch 3, 2.3 Design accelerations
f d = duty factor for the lift or ramp
= 2,0 for operation with personnel
= 1,5 otherwise.

6.2.2 If the hoisting speed of the ramp or lift is such that the acceleration of the lift will cause an increase in the forces acting on the lift, then this acceleration term should be included.

6.2.3 Where the lift or ramp is designed to operate totally or partially under water, then due consideration is to be taken of the additional forces applied to the lift or ramp as a direct consequence of the water environment, e.g. added mass and velocity dependent damping forces.

6.3 Loads for windows and side scuttles in deckhouses and superstructures, Pwi

6.3.1 The design pressure, P wi, for windows and side scuttles in deckhouses and superstructures is to be taken as:

P wi = W 1 P s kN/m2

In no case is the design pressure to be taken less than Pwi,min as given by:

P wi,min = W 1 (10 + 0,04L R) kN/m2

Where Pwi,min need not be taken as greater than 15 kN/m2 for the third tier of deckhouses or superstructures and above.

where

W 1 = 1,33C 1

P s is to be taken at the height of the deck below the window or side scuttle, see 3.2
C 1 is defined in Vol 1, Pt 5, Ch 3, 5.5 Loads for deckhouses, bulwarks and superstructures, Pdh 5.5.1.

6.4 Loads for masts

6.4.1 The inertia forces resulting from the motions of the ship are to be calculated in accordance with Vol 1, Pt 5, Ch 3, 2 Motion response and combined with the wind force defined below acting in the most onerous direction for the case being considered.

6.4.2 Where applicable the additional inertia forces due to ice accretion are to be derived in accordance with Vol 1, Pt 5, Ch 2, 4.6 Ice accretion and included in the calculations.

6.4.3 The wind pressure, p, acting on the structure is given by:

p = kN/m2
where
V = wind speed, in m/s. To be taken as 63 m/s unless otherwise specified.

6.4.4 The wind force, F w, on the mast structure is given by:

F w = A p C f kN
where
A = the effective area of the structure concerned, i.e. the solid area projected on to a plane perpendicular to the wind direction, in m2
p = wind pressure, in kN/m2
C f = force coefficient in the direction of the wind, as defined in Table 3.6.1 Force coefficient (Cf) .
