Abstract This paper shows results from the calculations and analyses of the longitudinal strength of a  
multi-purpose floating structure built by Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise in Vietnam. The structure  
is concerned under its design sea conditions, using environmental statistical data and spectral theory of  
ship hydrodynamic in irregular waves. The long-term distribution of wave bending moment is  
approximated to the Weibull distribution based on the results of short-term analyses. For analyzing the  
longitudinal strength, the calculation is taken for different wave propagation directions and in different  
sea states corresponding to the wave statistical data. As a result, the study will give a conclusion about  
the safety of the structure in terms of longitudinal strength. This paper also introduces a reliability based  
approach for accessing structure’s strength to predict the working safety of floating structures under the  
real sea conditions.  
Keywords: shear forces, bending moments, floating structure, longitudinal strength, spectral theory,  
reliability based approach.  
1. Introduction  
During the lifetime of ships and floating structures, besides loads from structure’s weight, cargo, etc  
the structures have to work under loads induced by surrounding environment, for example sea waves,  
wind and current. Wave induced motions and loads on structures are the common topics that are being  
highly concerned in recent years. In the assessment process of longitudinal strength, the most important  
load is vertical wave bending moment amidships that depends on many factors, for example the loading  
conditions, the weight distribution, the angle of incoming waves, etc. These factors are mostly random  
and must be taken into account in calculations. Because of the randomness, many studies often based  
on probabilistic theory and spectral theory using wave statistic data of the navigating area. So, the  
researched structures are then evaluated the safety factor by calculating probability of exceeding  
extreme values. A.P. Teixeira & C. Guedes Soares [5] presented the reliability based approach to  
determine the design loads for the remaining lifetime of ships. In their study, the probability distribution  
of the wave induced loads was obtained by weighting the conditional Rayleigh distribution according  
to the probability of occurrence of the various sea states in the ship route, such as significant wave high  
Hs, zero up-crossing frequency T0, the ship heading θ, ship speed v and loading condition c, etc. The  
exceedance probability of the vertical bending moment (VBM) was approximated to the Weibull  
distribution. Using these methods, authors evaluated the longitudinal strength of the studied ship in the  
period of 20 years, predicted the remaining time of the ship. This calculation method was also applied  
by C. Guedes Soares in the report for “Probabilistic Models for Load Effects in Ship Structures” [6].  
In addition, to ensure the safety during working time, the strength of ships are often evaluated through  
either ships ultimate strength performance or fatigue and fracture analyses. For example, J.K. Paik et al  
[9], in 2009, used ALPS/ULSAP code for ultimate strength calculations of stiffened plate structures and  
ALPS/HULL code for progressive hull collapse analysis. The structure in their study is a Suezmax  
tanker. Z. Shu & T. Moan [10] also presented a study for the “assessment of the hull girder ultimate  
strength of a bulk carrier using nonlinear finite element analysis”.  
Regarding the fatigue and fracture analyses, ship structures are often studied in more details, at specific  
positions which are predicted to occur the fatigue or fracture damages, such as window and door corners  
of ship structure studied by Mika Bäckström & Seppo Kivimaa [11], fillet welds at doubler plates and  
lap joints studied by O. Feltz & W. Fricke [12], hatch corners studied by Hubertus von Selle et al [13]  
and hatch cover bearing pad by Kukkanen T. and Mikkola T. P. J. [15].

This paper presents an analysis of the longitudinal strength of the multi-purpose floating structure built  
by Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise. The structure has the main task as a transhipment terminal of  
containers for container ships in Vietnam, and as a floating dock for building new ship and ship  
repairing. Because the structure is newly designed with the dimensions exceeding the current upper  
limit values of Vietnam Register (VR), all the analyses of the structure safety are strictly considered,  
especially long-term analysis of longitudinal strength. The structure is designed to work along the North  
coast of Vietnam, between Hon Dau and Hon Ngu islands with the sea data are shown in the section 3  
later. The Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) of shear forces and bending moments (SF/BM) of the  
structure will be calculated, combined with wave spectra data to get the output spectra of SF/BM. From  
these calculations, the life time of the researched structure will be predicted.  
2. Theory background  
2.1 Wave load on ships and offshore structures  
During the working time, there are a number of forces impacting on the structures. Generally, these  
forces include static loads, low-frequency dynamic loads and high-frequency dynamic loads.  
Static loads are influenced by weights of ship and her contents, static buoyancy of the ship at rest or  
moving, thermal loads resulting from nonlinear temperature gradients within the hull, etc.  
Low frequency dynamic loads include following components: wave-induced hull pressure  
variations, hull pressure variations caused by oscillatory ship motions, inertial reactions resulting from  
the acceleration of the mass of the ship and its contents.  
High-Frequency dynamic loads are generally generated by propulsive devices on the hull or  
appendages, reciprocating or unbalanced rotating machinery, interaction of appendages with the flow  
past the ship, short waves induced loads and termed springing.  
In fact, gathering all aforementioned loads in one study requires much effort and time. Kukkanen T et  
al [16] gave a summary report of Nonlinear wave loads of ships”, in which the these wave loads were  
detailed by using their own numerical calculations and model test results.  
Generally, depending on the purpose of particular research, one or several loads are often neglected and  
the calculations will be easier and faster. Similarly, this paper will focus on the first type of the  
aforementioned loads: static loads and low frequency dynamic loads. The low-frequency dynamic  
loads, loads on ship when neglect dynamic stress amplification are called wave-induced loads.  
The calculation of these loads requires a previous determination of ship motions induced by waves.  
This is based on the assumptions of linear theory which both waves and ship motion amplitudes are  
small. In addition, the viscous forces are considered as a relatively unimportant forces in vertical loads  
calculations. Thus, the external hydrodynamic force and moment with respect to the neutral axis of a  
ship are [1]:

where w is the wave frequency, Sx is the wetted surface partition from stern to the cross-section, p is the  
summation of the hydrostatic and total hydrodynamic pressures, vector n is the normal vector of the  
wetted surface pointing towards the fluid field and x0 is the location of considered intersection point X0  
on the neutral axis.

] is the moment

shear force and bending moment on ships. The maximum value of shear force and bending moment  
RAO among all of the calculated wave frequency points at a particular section is called as SF/BM RAO  
at that section.  
2.2 Short-term analysis for longitudinal structure’s strength  
The short term analysis is based on the spectral analysis approach developed by Rice (1944) and  
Wiener-Khintchine theorem that allows us to switch from the time domain to frequency and probability  
domains. Because of stochastic representation, ocean waves are considered to be a Gaussian random  
process (Rudnick, 1951) so that the wave ordinate follows the normal Gaussian distribution and the  
wave amplitude follows Rayleigh distribution. Using seakeeping program, we can obtain the Response  
Amplitude Operators (RAO) of the structure motion parameters and forces. Thus, the spectra of output  
response is evaluated by [2]:

where

amplitude operators corresponding to the output data that we need for analysis. Subsequently, the  
spectra of the shear forces and bending moments (SF/BM) on structures will be calculated from wave  
spectra following equation:

196  
Generally, to study the motions and loads on floating structures or ships, the wave frequency is often  
considered in the range from 0.2 rad/s to 2.5 rad/s.  
Regarding the sea spectra, we can describe the sea state as a stationary random process. This means that  
we can observe the sea at a particular position within a limited time period, from 0.5 to 3 hours. This is  
the short-term description of the sea. Two commonly recommended wave spectra are JONSWAP and  
Pierson-Moskowitz. The JONSWAP spectrum is recommended by 17th ITTC for limited fetch [3]:

Equation (6) satisfied equation (8) is only true for a narrow-banded spectrum and when the  
instantaneous value of the wave elevation is Gaussian distributed.  
Following IACS Recommendation No.34, [4] with the assumption that the process is narrow banded,  
amplitudes of the vertical wave bending moment (MW) in short-term sea state follows Rayleigh  
distribution. Thus, the probability function for the maxima (peak values) MW can be obtained following  
equation:

Where Psh is the probability that wave induced bending moment on ship exceeding the given peak value  
of the bending moment MW; SR is the spectral of response.  
2.3 Long-term analysis for longitudinal structure’s strength  
Long-term probabilities of the vertical wave induced bending moment exceeding given values are  
calculated by combining the short-term probabilities with the probabilities of sea state and other factors  
such as ship headings, ships speeds and loading conditions. Long-term distribution is given in [5]:

In long-term analysis, the probability distribution of VBM exceeding the given value MW follows the  
Weibull distribution FVBM(MW) [6]:

3. Long-term safety evaluation of the multi-purpose floating structure  
3.1 Parameters of the structure  
To evaluate long-term safety of the investigated floating structure, the details of the structure parameters  
as well as structure’s working environment must be provided. Table 1 shows the summarization of the  
structure’s parameters. Because the structure is newly designed, then all load conditions data during the  
life time of the structure are still unknown. So, in this study, the load conditions of the structure are  
supposed to include three main cases: Full load, Ballast load and Partial load, with the corresponding  
time consuming proportions are 0.4, 0.4 and 0.2 (of the structure’s working time), respectively.

3.2 Working area data  
The structure is designed to work along the North coast of Vietnam, between Hon Dau and Hon Ngu  
islands shown on Figure 2.  
Figure 2 The design working area of the structure  
In 2014, Supott Thammasittirong (AIT), Sutat Weesakul (AIT), Ali Dastgheib (UNESCO-IHE) and  
Roshanka Ranasinghe (UNESCO-IHE) [14] presented a report of their study on “Climate Change  
Driven Variations in the Wave Climate along the Coast of Vietnam”. This report included statistical  
wave data of sea area along the North coast of Vietnam, between Hon Dau and Hon Ngu islands. The  
report also shown that during the period of time from 1981 to 2000, the mean wave height at the above  
sea area ranged from 0.4 m to 1.0 m; the mean wave period ranged from 4.0 s to 6.5 s and the main  
wave direction was South-East. These data are well fitted with the data from the National Centre for  
Hydro - Meteorological Forecasting [7] which are given on the Table 2 below.  
Table 2 gives basic data for the short-term calculations for the structure strength. With the results gained  
from the short-term calculations, strength of structure will be evaluated in given periods of time, such  
as 1 years, 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years.

3.3 Results and discussion  
The structure is supposed to work in its design sea wave environment with different wave frequencies  
and propagation directions. These frequencies range from 0.2 rad/s to 2.5 rad/s. The wave propagation  
angles range from -180o to +180o ( = 30o) with the corresponding probability of each is 1/12, [3]. We  
also suppose that the weight distribution in each load condition is fixed, the liquid’s sloshing in tanks  
are neglected, and the structure will generally have 1 month docking for small renovation each year, 3  
÷6 months docking for big renovation every 5 years of working. Figure 3 shows examples of the  
calculated bending moment RAO at mid-section of the structure in different wave propagation  
directions.  
200  
Figure 3 RAO of BM in the full load condition at different wave propagation directions  
The results of bending moment RAO calculations can be combined with wave spectra data to obtain  
the spectra of bending moment following equation (5). The values of  
are calculated following  
equation (12), and the short-term probability (Psh) of bending moment on the structure exceeding the  
given values are calculated following equation (11), depending on sea state probability, wave  
propagation directions, wave frequencies. For example, Table 3 shows a result of the full load condition  
calculation. It shows the probabilities of which the VBM exceed the permissible bending moment of  
the structure amidships (M0) in the full load condition. Here, the value of the moment M0 is determined  
by the formula following IACS Recommendation 1989/Rev.6 [8]

It is clearly seen that, in the full load case, the total probability of which the VBM amidships exceed  
the permissible bending moment of the structure M0 is 3.63E-14.  
By assuming a range of exceeded VBM MW, we can calculate the corresponding probabilities shown in  
the Table 4 for all load conditions.

Here, PT is the total probability in all load conditions (full load, partial load and ballast load conditions)  
at which the structure has one time within T years the BM exceeds its limit value. Similarly, PF, PP, PB  
are the probabilities at which the structure has one time the wave bending moment exceeds its limit  
value in the time period of survey in the full load, partial load and ballast load conditions, respectively.  
202  
PT(Mw>M0) is the totally long-term probability occurring one time BM on the structure exceeding the  
limited value M0. This probability is 1.617E-11, much lower than 20 years probability shown in the  
Table 5, which is 7.496E-08. It means that in terms of wave bending moment, the structure have a more  
than 20 years life time working well under this load. This result should be combined with other  
calculations such as longitudinal strength analysis of the structure working in hogging and sagging  
conditions, ultimate strength analysis and other analyses to give a final conclusion of the structure’s  
longitudinal strength.  
4. Conclusion  
The paper presents a method for long-term analysis of the structure strength under wave induced BM,  
based on spectra analysis and probability theory. The study also analysed partly the longitudinal  
strength of the structure in both short-term and long-term periods and predicted the age of the structure  
under the working sea environment. This is the key study that helps to solve the problems and current  
arguments of the very large structure built by Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise. However, there are  
several issues in the study that need to take into account more carefully, such as the assumptions.  
Regarding the input data, the sea environment data should be updated to the latest figures. The  
distribution of weight components along the structure is supposed to be fixed at each load condition,  
but in practice, this weight distribution will vary significantly, depending on different working states.  
Moreover, the load conditions in the study are only three main types (full load, partial load and ballast  
load conditions), which the corresponding time consuming proportions are supposed to follow the  
traditional rate of ship as 0.4, 0.4 and 0.2. The reason is the structure is newly built, leading to a lack of  
statistical data of structure working information.  
Besides, the effect of mooring system should be considered, because it has significant influence on the  
RAO of wave bending moment. Similarly, the probabilities of wave propagation directions need to be  
obtained from real sea statistics, which may not be equal between different directions as the assumption  
in this study.
