Limit state design differs from the traditional allowable stress design. In design, a structure is required to have an adequate margin of safety against service requirements because of inherent and modeling uncertainties. The mechanical properties of structural materials are characterized by testing predesignated specimens under monotonic tensile loading. The geometric configuration of a steel‐ or aluminum‐plated structure is determined primarily on the basis of the function of the particular structure. The terminology related to the classification of applied loads for ships and offshore structures is similar to that used for land‐based structures. Welded metal structures always have initial imperfections in the form of initial distortions, residual stresses, or softening in the weld fusion zone or heat‐affected zone (HAZ). Because such fabrication related initial imperfections may affect the structural properties and load‐carrying capacities of structures; they must be dealt with as parameters of influence in structural analysis and design.
