of structural members is calculated by following steps:
Step – 1: Dividing the frames in two
parts.

Web Frame
Step – 2:
Identify the structural members as – Girder, longitudinal, keelson etc.
Step – 3:
Find out each component’s dimensions and Quantity.
Step – 4:
Calculate each component’s individual weight.
Step – 5:
Multiply the components with required number.
Step – 6:
Sum up for total structural member weight.
The Plate Weight is calculated by following steps:
Step - 1: Divide plates into Keel plate, Garboard
Strake, Bottom Plate, Bilge Plate, Side Plate and Shear Strake.
Step – 2: Find out
each plate dimensions and Quantity
Step – 3: Calculate
Each Plate weight individually.
Step – 4: Sum up to get total plate weight.
