摘要

The purpose of this paper is to provide a basis for the development of reliability-based design formats for ultimate hull girder strength checks for bulk carriers in hogging conditions under combined global and local loading and to estimate implied safety levels in current rule practices for hull girders. The effect of alternative definitions of characteristic still-water loads on the safety format and, hence, the safety factors is assessed. The effect of systematic (bias) model uncertainties associated with loads and strength on the reliability measures is investigated.
