STUDIES ON THE STRENGTH AND THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF LARGE SIZED TRAIN FERRIES

The present paper in three parts deals with studies executed to solve structural strength problems inherent in large sized train ferries and thereby contribute to the rational design of hull structure of train ferry. In Part I the process and results of studies are described on the longitudinal strength of Seikan ferries; in Part II, on the strength design of each structural member of hull; and in Part III, on the problem of ship's contact with the quay-wall.
