Critical Location: Asymmetrical face / higher tensile steel side longitudinal face bar connections at the heel
and the toe of the web stiffeners. Connections between the base line and O.8D above the
base line.
Fatigue Mechanism: Soft toe and heel detail or symmetrical soft toe brackets to reduce peak stresses under
fatigue loading from dynamic seaway loads and ship motions.
Building Tolerances: Ensure alignment of the web stiffener, the back bracket and the web of the side
longitudinal.
Welding Requirements: Fillet welding having mínimum weld factor of 0.44 (Web stiffeners to face bars of side
longitudinals. Back brackets to face bars of side longitudinals).
A wrap around weld, free of undercut or notches, around the plate thickness.
