Ship structures are subjected to complex sea loading conditions, leading to a sophisticated structural design to withstand and avoid structural failure. Structural capacity assessment, particularly of the longitudinal strength, is crucial to ensure the safety of ships, crews, the marine environment, and the cargoes carried. This work aims to overview the ultimate strength assessment of intact ship structures in recent decades. Particular attention is paid to the ultimate strength of plates, stiffened panels, box girders, and entire ship hull structures. A discussion about numerical and experimental analyses is also provided. Finally, some conclusions and suggestions about potential future work are noted.

This paper presents a corrosion-dependent analysis of the ultimate strength analysis of aged box girders based on experimental results. Three multispan corroded stiffened box girders subjected to four-point vertical load are analyzed, idealizing the behavior of midship sections of full ships. The specimens have three levels of corrosion. Two corrosion-dependent formulas for assessing the ultimate strength as well as the ultimate bending moment of corroded structures are proposed. Using a time-dependent corrosion growth model, equivalent time-dependent formulations are developed. The effect of corrosion degradation on the residual stresses during the service life is also analyzed, and a regression equation for predicting the remaining residual stresses along the service life is proposed. Finally, a corrosion-dependent moment-curvature relationship has been developed accounting for the changes in geometrical characteristics and material properties of the tested box girders.

The analysis of slamming effect has been mainly discussed about the local strength assessment and the global longitudinal strength assessment under slamming loads. The former is to forecast the local design pressure and access the local structural strength. To achieve the strength assessment of local structure of the ship bow, the slamming design pressure results of bow bottom and bow flare areas have been selected, so as to show the calculation results of relative velocity extreme values and design slamming pressure. And then according to the slamming loads and strength assessment, the direct strength assessments have been used to check key areas. The latter is to forecast the global vertical design moment and access the global longitudinal strength through three dimension finite model.

Concrete Testing

In this paper a case study about concrete strength assessment of bridge structure experiencing fire is discussed. Assessment methods include activities of visual inspection, concrete testing by Hammer Test, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test, and Core Test. Then, test results are compared with the requirement of RSNI T-12-2004. Test results show that surface concrete at the location of fire deteriorates so that its quality is decreased into the category of Very Poor with ultrasonic pulse velocity ranges between 1,14 – 1,74 km/s. From test results also it can be known that concrete compressive strength of inner part of bridge pier ranges about 267 – 274 kg/cm2 and concrete compressive strength of beam and plate experiencing fire directly is about 173 kg/cm2 and 159 kg/cm2. It can be concluded that surface concrete strength at the location of fire does not meet the requirement of RSNI T-12-2004. So, repair on surface concrete of pier, beam, and plate at the location of fire is required.
