10、 the middle of the length L. 17 Block Coefficient (Cb) The Block Coefficient (Cb), is given by Cb= /LBd where is the volume of molded displacement, excluding appendages, in cubic meters (cubic feet). 19 Double Ended Rake Barge A Double Ended Rake Barge is a barge with similar rakes at each end and f
11、itted with towing bitts arranged in such a manner that the barge in normal circumstances may be towed from either end. Each end of barges with this configuration is to be considered as the forward end in the application of these Rules. 21 Oil As used in these Rules, the term Oil refers to petroleum
12、products having flash points at or below 60C (140F), (closed cup test). 23 Passenger A Passenger is every person other than the master and the members of the crew or other persons employed or engaged in any capacity onboard a vessel on the business of that vessel and children under one year of age.
13、25 Superstructure A Superstructure is a decked structure on the freeboard deck extending from side to side of the barge or vessel, or with the side plating not being inboard of the shell plating more than 0.04B. 27 Cargo Area The Cargo Area is that part of a barge that contains cargo tanks, slop tan
14、ks and cargo pump rooms and includes ballast and void spaces, cofferdams and pump rooms adjacent to cargo tanks and also deck areas throughout the entire length and breadth of that part of the barge over the above mentioned spaces. In chemical and liquefied gas tank barges having independent cargo t
15、anks installed in hold spaces, cofferdams or ballast or void spaces aft of the aftermost hold space bulkhead or forward of the forward-most hold space bulkhead are excluded from the cargo area. 29 Cargo Pump Room A Cargo Pump Room is a space containing pumps and their accessories for the handling of
16、 the cargo. 31 Weathertight Weathertight means that in any sea conditions water will not penetrate into the vessel. 33 Gross Tonnage For vessels in domestic service, gross tonnage is the national gross tonnage as specified by the country in which the vessel is to be registered. For vessels which are
17、 engaged in international voyages, gross tonnage is to be determined by the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969.

Unless indicated otherwise, the format of presentation in the Rules of the two systems of units is as follows:
19、MKS units (US customary units) 20 ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING STEEL VESSELS FOR SERVICE ON RIVERS & INTRACOASTAL WATERWAYS .2017 PART Section 2: General Requirements 3 CHAPTER 1 General SECTION 2 General Requirements 1 Materials 1.1 Steel (2017) These Rules are intended for barges and vessels
20、 of welded construction using steels complying with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2). Use of steels other than those in Chapters 1 and 2 of the above Part 2 and the corresponding scantlings will be specially considered. Where it is intended to
21、use material of cold flanging quality, this steel is to be indicated on the plans. ASTM A36 steel otherwise manufactured by an ABS approved steel mill, tested and certified to the satisfaction of ABS may be used in lieu of Grade A for a thickness up to and including 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) for plates and
22、up to and including 19 mm (0.75 in.) for sections. 1.3 Aluminum Alloys The use of aluminum alloys in hull structures will be considered upon submission of the proposed specification for the alloy and the method of fabrication. 1.5 Design Consideration Where scantlings are reduced in connection with
23、the use of higher-strength steel or where aluminum alloys are used, adequate buckling strength is to be provided. Where it is intended to use material of cold flanging quality for important longitudinal strength members, this steel is to be indicated on the plans. 1.7 Guidance for Repair Where a spe
24、cial welding procedure is required for the special steels used in the construction, including any low temperature steel and those materials not in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2), a set of plans showing the following information for each steel should be placed ab
25、oard the barge or vessel. Material Specification Welding procedure Location and extent of application These plans are in addition to those normally placed aboard which are to show all material applications. 1.9 Materials Containing Asbestos (2005) See 4-1-1/21. 3 Scantlings 3.1 General Sections havi
26、ng appropriate section moduli or areas, in accordance with their functions in the structure as stiffeners, columns or combinations of both, are to be adopted, due regard being given to the thickness of all parts of the sections to provide a proper margin for corrosion. It may be required that calcul
27、ations be submitted in support of resistance to buckling for any part of the vessels structure.

28、orkmanship All workmanship is to be of commercial marine quality and acceptable to the Surveyor. Welding is to be in accordance with the requirements of Section 3-2-6. The Surveyors are to satisfy themselves that all operators to be employed in the construction of barges and vessels to be classed ar
29、e properly qualified in the type of work proposed and in the proper use of the welding processes and procedures to be followed. 5 Proportions In general, these Rules are valid for vessels having lengths not exceeding 30 times their depth, and breadths not exceeding 6 times their depth. Vessels with
30、other proportions will be specially considered. 7 Structural Sections 7.1 Required Section Modulus The scantling requirements of these Rules are applicable to structural angles, channels, bars, and rolled or built-up sections. The required section modulus of members such as girders, webs, etc., supp
31、orting frames and stiffeners is to be obtained with an effective width of plating basis as described below, unless otherwise noted. The section modulus is to include the structural member in association with an effective width of plating equal to one-half the sum of the spacing on each side of the m
32、ember or 33% of the unsupported span , whichever is less. For girders and webs along hatch openings, an effective breadth of plating equal to one-half the spacing or 16.5% of the unsupported span , whichever is less, is to be used. Where channel construction is adopted, as illustrated in 3-2-1/Figur
33、e 5 and 3-2-2/Figure 5, the required section modulus is to be obtained solely by the channel. The required section modulus of frames and stiffeners is assumed to be provided by the stiffener and one frame space of the plating to which it is attached. . For bars or shapes which are not attached to th
34、e plating, the section modulus is to be obtained in the member only. It may be required that calculations be submitted in support of the resistance to buckling of longitudinals. 7.3 Serrated Sections Serrated sections may be used for girders, webs, frames and stiffeners, but the depth of the member
35、is not to be less than 2 times the depth of any cutout. The cutouts are to be arranged to provide regularly spaced points of contact with the plating sufficient to obtain the welding required. Where supporting members are cut out for framing and stiffening members, the depth of the cutout should not
36、 exceed 50% of the depth of the supporting member. 9 Structural Design Details 9.1 General The designer shall give consideration to the following: 9.1.1 The thickness of internals in locations susceptible to rapid corrosion. 9.1.2 The proportions of built-up members to comply with established standa
37、rds for buckling strength. 22 ABSRULES FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING STEEL VESSELS FOR SERVICE ON RIVERS & INTRACOASTAL WATERWAYS .2017 Part 3 Hull Construction and Equipment Chapter 1 General Section 2 General Requirements 3-1-2 9.1.3 The design of structural details, such as noted below, against the h
38、armful effects of stress concentrations and notches: i) Details of the ends, the intersections of members and associated brackets. ii) Shape and location of air, drainage, or lightening holes. iii) Shape and reinforcement of slots or cut-outs for internals. iv) Elimination or closing of weld scallop
39、s in way of butts, “softening” of bracket toes, reducing abrupt changes of section or structural discontinuities. 9.1.4 Proportions and thickness of structural members to reduce fatigue response due to cyclic stresses, particularly for higher-strength steels. 9.3 Termination of Structural Members Un
40、less permitted elsewhere in the Rules, structural members are to be effectively connected to the adjacent structures in such a manner as to avoid hard spots, notches and other harmful stress concentrations. Where members are not required to be attached at their ends, special attention is to be given
41、 to the end taper, by using soft-toed concave brackets or by a sniped end of not more than 30. Where the end bracket has a face bar, it is to be sniped and tapered not more than 30. Bracket toes or sniped ends are to be kept within 25 mm (1.0 in.) of the adjacent member, and the depth at the toe or
42、snipe end is generally not to exceed 15 mm (0.60 in.). Where a strength deck or shell longitudinal terminates without end attachment, it is to extend into the adjacent transversely framed structure or stop at a local transverse member fitted at about one transverse frame space beyond the last floor
43、or web that supports the longitudinal.
