I was unaware that this forum required formal engineering sketches... what you got was quickly thrown together in PAINT while sitting at my breakfast table. To be honest, I would have LOVED an Etch A Sketch. A conversation around a white board with dry erase markers would have yielded some...

I thought I had attached the sketches properly, but I guess not. I'll dig around to figure out what went wrong. And yes, no part of a boat is fixed. I think my sketches will help to make things a bit more clear.http://postimg.org/image/5avmhcv1r/ http://postimg.org/image/xajwmvxgp/

Noted. A sketch would definitely help. In the attached sketch I have drawn a basic grillage... let's assume it is made of W sections. The main reason for the grillage is to ensure that the steel deck of the vessel is not over-stressed - we're spreading loads out to the main frames of the...

I personally think it would be a piece of cake for any savvy engineer. It won't take long to get the gist of things!

Howdy friends. I have designed many a grillage in my day, as well as the seafastening for said grillage. Typically I use RISA 3D to determine the reactions at the locations of my seafastening cleats; I design my cleats and welds accordingly. I recently got into a bit of a debate (as is common...
