Q

Which term defines the vertical structural members attached to the floors that add strength to the floors?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Floors as structural members in a ship’s bottom structure • The role of vertical members in supporting and stiffening plating • Differences between local reinforcement pieces and general framing members

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of member is used to prevent a flat plate (like a floor) from buckling under load. • Which option sounds like a general term for members that support or reinforce, rather than a very specific fitting or plate? • Consider which choices are clearly plate-type items versus framing-type members.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer choices are clearly plates (flat metal pieces) rather than framing members. • Ask yourself: which term would be used broadly around the ship wherever extra support or rigidity is needed? • Confirm that the correct term can logically be attached to floors vertically to increase their strength.
