2. Strength of ships - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_ships

   The strength of ships is a topic of key interest to naval architects and shipbuilders.

3. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Safe_Practice_for...

   Because of the increased weight of timber cargoes on a deck, the Code requires the ship's stability to be calculated according to a set list of criteria and guidance. [4] The 2011 update to the Code include the addition of loop lashing as an optional shipboard practice compared with top-over lashing for securing timber deck cargoes. [6]

5. Structural drawing - Wikipedia

6. Composite construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   A composite steel deck combines the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete to improve design efficiency and reduce the material necessary to cover a given area. Additionally, composite steel decks supported by composite steel joists can span greater distances between supporting elements and have reduced live load ...

7. Square (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(unit)

   Some home builders use squares as a unit in floor plans to customers. When used in reference to material that is applied in an overlapped fashion, such as roof shingles or siding, a square refers to the amount of material needed to cover 100 square feet when installed according to a certain lap pattern.
