Q

Which statement concerning solid floors is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Solid floors vs open floors in ship construction • Purpose of lightening holes, limber holes, and air holes in floors • When structures in the bottom of the ship are required to be watertight

💭 Think About

• Think about why a floor would be called solid and whether that always means it cannot have any openings in it. • Consider which types of openings (if any) can safely be cut into structural members without defeating their purpose. • Ask yourself in what locations or compartments ship structures must be watertight, and whether that applies to all solid floors everywhere in the ship.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the definition and purpose of a solid floor compared to an open floor. • Verify which openings (lightening, limber, air holes) are commonly associated with floors in double bottoms and tank tops. • Confirm whether all solid floors must be watertight, or only those forming boundaries of tanks or other specific compartments.
