Compensation around some of these openings may be overcome by increasing the sizes of the material used, buy a careful disposition of the material and
by paying careful attention to the structural design.
Compensating for the stress concentration around hatch corners by rounding off the square hatch corner ends

The basic idea of a bulkhead in addition to the water tight integrity is to add to the girder strength of the ship beam.
Thus for a transverse bulkhead, which extends from the port to the starboard side or vice versa, the framing is done in a vertical manner so that the
compressive and the tensile stress may be reduced for the beam.
Similarly for a longitudinal bulkhead which runs parallel to the shipside the framing is done vertically, again so that the additional strength would enhance
the stress compensating effect of the ship beam.

The ends are to be gradually tapered and should not end on an un-stiffened panel.
The limber boards were removable for cleaning as they were frequently damaged (edges) leaving gaps through which cargo residue would accumulate.
Modern ships do not have the side bilges and have only a strum box at the after end of the holds and these are connected in the similar way to pipelines,
which run through the DB’s.
