1. Recommendations for renewals should be decided on a reasonable and practical basis; that is only what

2. To avoid combining the shrinkage stresses of several welds in close proximity in restrained surrounding
structures, it is best to avoid too-small insert plates, these are prone to fracture. if possible, renew full width,
but in any case not less than 450 mm width, and at least three frame spaces in length (the transversely-
framed vessels), or for a length at least as great as the strake width.

4. Avoid use of a replacement insert plate more than about two millimeters or 10% t under or over original
thickness in order to minimize stress concentration effect of abrupt change of section.

5. Avoid fitting plates transversely: that is make sure direction of rolling is fore and aft. 2013 (50)
