scope:

The buckling checks shall be performed according to:

- Sec.2 for the slenderness requirements of plates, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners, primary supporting members and brackets

- Sec.3 for the hull girder buckling requirements of plates, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners, supporting members and other structures

- Sec.4 for the buckling requirements of the direct analysis for the plates, stiffened panels and other structures. Buckling analysis according to Sec.4 is also applicable for beam analysis of structure elements subjected to compressive and shear stresses

- the Society's document DNVGL-CG-0128 Buckling, for the buckling capacity.
