🔍 Key Concepts

• Floors as structural members in a ship’s bottom framing • Which members run fore-and-aft (longitudinally) versus athwartships (transversely) • How structural members prevent tripping (lateral buckling) of flat plates or stiffeners

💭 Think About

• Think about where the floors are located in the hull and which structural members are attached directly to their edges. • Ask yourself: which type of member running near the floors would best stop their free edge from buckling sideways? • Consider whether the supporting member would usually be found in the bottom structure or up at the deck level.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what floors are (they are not deck beams) and where they sit in the ship’s cross-section. • Identify which options are located in the bottom structure versus the deck structure. • Check which member would act as a lateral support along the free edge of the floors to keep them from folding over.
