5.1 Explain any two (2) materials required to construct and install
bulkheads? Write your answer in. Yes ☐ No ☐

5.2 What are the different methods adopted in the construction and
installation of bulkheads? Explain any two (2) methods.

Ans.
5.1
Wooden Sheets
The sheets must be of acceptable quality, devoid of cracks and blemishes. Semi corrugated sheets with
a width of 1100 mm and a length of 1750 mm will be utilised. The sheets’ thickness must not be less
than 6 mm.
Purlins
Angle purlins of the necessary size must be utilised at a spacing of not more than 1.4m apart.
Between wood pilings, sheeting is often used hold back the soil and keep it separated from the water.
Traditionally, the sheeting has been treated wood boards, with a tongue machined in the center of
one edge and a matching groove on the other. This allows multiple boards to lock together to create
a strong surface, supporting the weight of the soil between the pilings. The boards are available with
chemical treatments rated for either saltwater or freshwater exposure, and they come in assorted
lengths.

5.2
Prefabricated framed Bulkhead component details -Procedure for the Installation of Bulkhead:
Bulkheads are commonly utilised in construction to separate two ceilings. The ceilings are usually
different heights. However, bulkheads can also be used to break up enormous ceilings. Depending on
the design and use, there are a variety of building methods, but the most frequent is created in the
same way as a normal wall. The significant distinction is that the bottom cord is hanging in mid-air
instead of being attached to the floor.
Transverse bulkheads
Transverse bulkheads divide the ship from side to side and are habitually used to create watertight
compartments on the vessel. Additionally, they stiffen the structure of the hull, preventing deformation
and racking stresses.

Q6: Write down three (3) application of curved geometry in the construction Satisfactory
of bulkheads? response
Yes ☐ No ☐

1) Curved ceilings are constructed using curved geometry.

2) Curved geometry is used to build concave walls in both width and length directions.

3) Curved geometry is used to build convex walls in both width and length directions

Q7: Answer the following questions: Satisfactory

response
7.1 Explain different types of loads acting on the anchor for bulkheads.

7.2 Calculate the anchor capacities of bulkheads for the figure given
below. The length of the given cantilever (A) is 550mm, B is 68.75 mm,
and the object's weight is 36kg.
7.1

Generally, two types of forces acting on the anchor in the bulkhead.

Shear Force

Tension

a) Tension force: The force attempting to pull the fastener straight out of the wall is
known as tension.

b) Shear force: Shear refers to the force exerted on the fastener when it pulls straight
down the wall.

Q8: Answer the following questions: Satisfactory

response
8.1 Write two (2) uses of plans while constructing and installing
bulkheads. Yes ☐ No ☐

8.2 Write the importance of drawings in the construction and installation

of bulkheads.

8.3 Why specification is important during the construction of bulkheads?

8.1
1. By stating in advance how work is to be done, planning provides direction for
 action. Planning ensures that goals and objectives are clearly defined so that, they
act as a guide for deciding what action should be taken and in which direction.
2. Planning reduces uncertainty and indicates what everyone is expected to accomplish.
People are more likely to work toward a goal they know and understand.

8.2
The initial stage in each building industry is drawing. The primary function of building
drawings is to offer a graphical depiction of what will be built. Construction drawings
should be simple and coordinated to eliminate ambiguity and confusion whenever
feasible. By carefully organising the designs, delays and misunderstandings may be
reduced. See Document control for further details. The collision bulkhead is a
substantially reinforced structure whose main purpose is to reduce the damage from a
head-on collision to the bow forward of it. To restrict damage to its front section implies
that the impact bulkhead be watertight.

8.3
The specification specifies the project's aim, performance, and construction. It can be used
to refer to the quality and standards that should be followed. Materials and goods from
producers can be precisely specified. It is possible to identify installation, testing, and
handover needs.

Q9: Write types and uses of tools and equipment used to construct and Satisfactory

Q10: Write down the process for setting out and measuring materials used to Satisfactory
construct bulkheads. response
Yes ☐ No ☐

10.1

Setting out plasterboard is the process of correctly defining the sheet's contour and breadth to
establish the sheet's central line so that cutting of the sheet according to the requirements may be
done properly. The centre line style of laying out is widely used and favoured.

The total centre line length of all the sheets is first measured in the centre line technique, assuming
that the sheets are of the same kind, long and short, and have the same cross-section. After calculating
the length of the centre line, the total area is calculated by multiplying it by breadth.
However, extra care must be made at intersections, meeting places of partition or cross walls and
other areas where the centre line approach gives an edge with a faster work speed.

10.2
Step 1: Setting up plywood cutting “station”
Step 2: Setting up saw
Step 3: Ripping plywood sheets to desired widths
Step 4: Cross-cutting plywood sheets to the desired length

Q11: Answer the following questions: Satisfactory

11.1 Write down the processes for calculating material requirements for response
constructing bulkheads with an example.
11.2 Explain the procedure for the installation of the bulkhead. Yes ☐ No ☐

11.1
Calculation of sheets for a job:
Example
First, we must determine the surface area of all the walls on which the bulkhead will be installed and
choose the appropriate sheet size. We are utilising a sheet with dimensions in this example (1750
mm x 1100 mm).
Assume the wall has a total surface area of 100m2. To compute the number of sheets, divide this
surface area by the surface area of sheets.
Total surface area = 100m2
Area of sheet = 1.75 x 1.1
= 1.925 m2
Total number of sheets required = 100/1.925
= 51.94 (say 52 sheets)
Taking 5% of wastage, total sheets = 55 sheets

Calculation of load carrying capacity of a fastener:

Consider a fasterner can carry a safe load of 50kg with factor of safety (FOS) 3. Then the total load
carrying capacity of the fasterner can be calculated as
= 3 * 50 kg
= 150 kg.
The factor of safety varying with the conditions. Generally, a FOS of 3-4 is considered for the load
calculation of the fastener.

11.2

Step 1 - Measure the length of the area where the bulkhead will be installed and then choose the
appropriate sheet size.
Step 2 - To make the top plate of the bulkhead, cut one of the boards to the length determined in
Step 1. Make a pencil mark on the board to indicate the desired length. Using the frame square as a
straightedge, draw a straight line across it at this point. Using the skill saw, cut along the line.
Step 3 - To make the bottom plate, which runs horizontally across the bottom half of the bulkhead, repeat
Step 2. Before measuring and cutting, double-check that the wall where the bottom board will go is the
same size as the top plate. Because the walls aren’t always square, the two lengths will be different.
Step 4 - Using framing screws and a hammer, fasten the top plate of the bulkhead to the ceiling.
Before you begin nailing, be sure there is a stable nailing surface above you.
Step 5 - Make a plan for where the vertical studs will go on the top plate. Make a mark with the tape
measure over the top plate. Make a line perpendicular to the top plate at each spot using the framing
square as a straightedge.
Step 6 - Measure and cut studs for the top plate.
Step 7 - Using construction glue and framing nails, secure the studs to the bulkhead. Make sure the
studs are in the centre of the lines drawn during the layout and are flush with the top plate’s edges.
Apply construction adhesive to the faces of the two end studs to fasten them to each
wall. Apply a bead of glue to the tops of the studs that will be attached to the top plate before
nailing. Each one is secured with three nails, two on one side of the stud and one on the other, all at
45-degree angles. Make sure the nails run straight through the stud and into the top plate.
Step 8 - Attach the bottom plate to the bulkhead with screws. Begin at one of the bulkhead’s far ends
along the wall. Two screws should be driven through the bottom of the bottom plate and into the stud
above. Check that the stud’s ends are flush with the bottom plate. Rep this procedure for the other
studs, making sure to level each one with the torpedo level as you go.
