Example:
Vessel under combination loading - Design case, Case 2 - Operation (Corroded inertias) (New Weight),
Moments and loads in plane of saddles. PG 49 of the report
Shear loads
a. Support #1= 2,008.5 and 1,773.0
b. Support #2 = 4,100.3 and 4,105.7
Next go to Saddles, sub section
Saddle #1, Case 2, page 112, Maximum shear load : Qi = 2,127.1 daN
Saddle #2, case 2, page 122, Maximum shear load : Qi = 4,633.7 daN
Why are the Shear values Qi at the saddles different than the Shear diagram at the saddles?
Answer:
They are the result of the vectorial sum of the maximum shear stresses as calculated in the equivalent beam:
