Compressive Strength of Welded Steel Ship Grillages

Abstract

Results are presented of a series of tests on full scale welded steel grillages representing typical warship deck and single bottom structures under compressive load combined in some cases with lateral pressure. Experimental results are discussed in relation to currently available analysis methods. Design recommendations are made together with suggestions on the need for further research.
