MATERIALS, SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTROL METHODS FOR OCEAN STRUCTURES

The qualities, advantages and testing procedures for some of the more important marine construction materials, steel, aluminum, titanium, concrete, fiber reinforced plastics, glass, etc., are related. Yield and tensile strength, ductibility, weldability, fracture toughness, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and other properties are discussed. The desirability of these characteristics is shown to depend upon the intended use of a vessel, since a high strength for one may mean a lower strength for some others. Desirable types of steel treatment are covered, and methods of inspecting welding which are thought most desirable by the author are discussed.
