Also, since local structural details are numerous and basically similar among various structures they lend themselves to standardization and to design from handbooks and structural codes. Overall structural geometry is generally determined by overall design requirements rather than by structural requirements, while detail design is largely guided and constrained by fabrication methods and requirements.

Concept design deals with the topology or overall geometry of the structure preliminary design establishes the scantlings (structural dimensions) of all principal structural members and detail design is concerned with local aspects such as joints, openings, and reinforcements. 978-0-93įor a structure as large and as complex as a ship there are three levels of structural design, the second and most central of which is the subject of this book.
