Variable list

Variable 85 – Welding efficiency

15.5.3 Allowable stresses for unreinforced vessel

The membrane stresses shall be limited as follows:

(15.5.3-1)

The sum of membrane stresses and bending stresses shall conform to:

(15.5.3-2)

where

z = 1 for sides without longitudinal or circumferential welds.

15.6.6 Allowable stresses in the stiffeners and associated walls

The membrane stresses shall be limited as follows:

(15.6.6-1)

The sum of membrane stresses and bending stresses shall at all points conform to:

(15.6.6-2)

where

z = 1 for sides without longitudinal or circumferential welds.

If a section is built of more than one material, f is the value for the material at the point under consideration.

The shear stress in the web and in the weld between stiffener and vessel plate shall not exceed 0,5 f.
