With a ship built with a transverse framing system, by what means are double bottom floors and the transverse frames joined?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse framing system – how floors, frames, and longitudinal members are arranged in this system • Meaning and typical use of margin plate / bilge margin in double bottom construction • Difference between brackets, stiffeners, girders, and gussets as connection/strengthening members

💭 Think About

• In a transverse framing system, think about which member actually CONNECTS the double bottom to the side framing at the turn of the bilge. • Ask yourself: which of these items (brackets, stiffeners, girders, gussets) is most commonly used as a ‘connecting plate’ between intersecting structural members? • Visualize a cross‑section of the hull: double bottom floor, turn of the bilge, side frame — what named piece sits in that corner to tie them together?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is normally associated with the margin plate at the bilge between tank top and side shell. • Check standard ship construction diagrams for how transverse frames connect to the double bottom floors in a transverse system. • Eliminate options that usually describe longitudinal strength members rather than simple connecting/attachment pieces.
