response
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 Satisfactory
construction 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
Yes ☐ No ☐
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.

Q10: Write down the process for setting out and measuring Satisfactory
materials used to 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.

Step 1: Setting up plywood cutting

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 response
requirements for 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.
