ABBREVIATIONS
RULE 1
Applies to odd number of ordinates e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc.
A1 = h 3 S(1) ; A2 = 3h 8 S(2) ; A = A1 + A2
D Distance of the centroid of the full bulkhead from the top, where all the ordinates reach,
measured along a line parallel to the ordinates.
D1 Distance of the centroid of A1 from top of the bulkhead as stated above.
D2 Distance of the centroid of A2 from top of the bulkhead as stated above.
I Moment of inertia of the full bulkhead about an axis perpendicular to the ordinates and
passing through the top of the bulkhead where all the ordinates reach.
I1 Moment of inertia of A1 about the same axis.
I2 Moment of inertia of A2 about the same axis.
A1 = h 3 S(1) ; A2 = 3h 8 S(2) ; A = A1 + A2
I1 = h 3 S(5) 3 ; I2 = 3h 8 S(6) 3 ; I = I 1 + I2
NOTE : For any number of ordinates, always apply Rule 1 first, and then apply Rule 2.
IWS Moment of inertia of the full bulkhead about an axis passing through the water surface,
and parallel to it.
H Height of the water surface above the top of the bulkhead.
DCOP Distance of the centre of pressure from the water surface.
