🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse framing system vs. longitudinal framing system for hulls and decks • Function of deck beams (primary support across the ship) and deck girders/stringers (primary support along the ship) • Meaning of continuous vs intercostal members in ship construction

💭 Think About

• Think about which direction the main framing system runs on a transverse-framed vessel, and how the deck support usually matches that system. • Consider which members (beams or girders) are more numerous and closely spaced, and which are fewer but heavier and support the others. • Ask yourself: in practice, which members are more likely to be cut by openings like hatches, and which are preferred to run through continuously for strength?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference: continuous member runs straight through; intercostal members fit between the continuous ones. • Match the term transverse-framed vessel to the direction of the main structural members in the hull, then extend that logic to deck beams and deck girders. • Check each option for internal consistency: does it make sense that the primary strength members in that direction would be the ones made continuous, not intercostal?
