a) All questions carry equal marks


b) Do not copy from others. If any two answer scripts are common word by word, no marks will be given to
both answer scripts. Try to keep your answers confidential.

1. Determine the minimum wall thickness required to resist the deck load, wind, wave and current
forces as shown in figure 1. Assume yield strength of 345 MPa. Depth of fixity can be assumed
as 5 times diameter of the monopod below the seabed.

2. Determine the safety of the submarine hull with dual skin arrangement of inner diameter 5m
with an outer shell thickness of 50mm and an inner shell thickness of 50mm operating at a
depth of 150m below mean sea level. Yield strength of material is to be taken as 345 MPa. The
height, thickness and spacing of stiffening rings is 500mm, 25mm and 1m respectively. Typical
sections of the hull is shown in figure 2 The longitudinal bending of the hull shall be estimated
using the empirical formula M=0.05L2w in which w is the weight of hull /m and L is the length
of the hull = 200m.
