Research on Structural Rules Comparison of the Heavy Icebreaker
Based on the current structural rules of FSICR,RMRS and IACS,the requirements of classification notation,hull areas extent,longitudinal strength and structural material selection in low temperature environment were discussed.Taking a heavy icebreaker as the research object,the effect of ice load calculation and some principal characteristics such as ice class,dis-placement,frame system and spacing were comparative analyzed,in order to provide reference for the structural design of heavy icebreaker.
