Basis of IACS unified longitudinal strength standard
Abstract Classification societies of maritime states have established a variety of their own technical rules on ships' hull structures, installations and surveys under which a great number of classed ships are designed, built and operated during their whole life of service. On the other hand, the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) requirements have been drawn up to unify the requirements of classification rule of the societies. Recently, the IACS Requirement S11 ‘Longitudinal Strength Standard’ which forms the basic structural requirement for hull strength was established, and was agreed at the 22nd Session of the IACS Council Meeting to be introduced into the requirements of the rules of each classification society in April 1991. With the establishment of this unified requirement, a remarkable step forward has been taken in the international trend towards the long-wished-for unification of hull strength standards for ships. In this specific connection, IACS Requirement S11 and its technical background are outlined in this paper, followed by a brief discussion on the relationship between this Requirement and the relevant rule requirement of each classification society.
