Introduction to materials and joints in shipbuilding, structural elements of the hull in the cargo space of different types of ships. Identify and name the structural elements of the hull. Explain the function of individual construction elements. Apply the technical rules of classification societies in calculate structural elements through an individual project.

Student responsibilities:

To attend lecture and exercise on regular basic.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Occasional written knowledge checks, evaluation of drafted project/seminar, through oral exam.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

1 . Identify, name and sketch the structural elements of the hull of different types of ships.

2 . Define the type of material and its specifics depending on the type of ship construction.

3 . Describe and sketch the loads to which individual parts of the ship's structure are exposed

4 . Dimension specific parts of the ship's structure in accordance with the technical rules of classification societies.

5 . Recognize and interpret hull classification drawings.

6 . Select a suitable framing system for individual parts of the ship's structure.
