🔍 Key Concepts

• Primary functions of deck beams in ship construction • Difference between transverse strength and longitudinal strength of a hull • How deck beams interact with frames, shell plating, and deck plating

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: is this something a transverse deck beam is specifically designed to do? Or is it more related to other structural members like girders, stringers, or the keel? • Think about whether a deck beam helps the ship resist forces across the ship (side-to-side), along the length of the ship (bow-to-stern), or twisting forces (torsion). Which role is least associated with a deck beam? • Visualize a typical deck cross-section: where is the beam, what loads does it carry, and what structural problems is it meant to prevent?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear which members mainly provide transverse strength (across the ship) and which provide longitudinal strength (along the ship). • Consider which function involves tying the sides together versus supporting deck loads versus preventing plate wrinkling. • Ask: does this function sound like it would increase or decrease the ship’s longitudinal stiffness? Would a beam across the ship normally lessen stiffness along the ship’s length?
