A major component of tanker architecture is the design of the hull or outer structure. A tanker with a single outer shell between the product and the ocean is said to be single-hulled. [ 4 ] Most newer tankers are double-hulled , with an extra space between the hull and the storage tanks. [ 4 ]
Most passenger vehicles and some freight vehicles will have a bulkhead which separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment or cab; [11] the automotive use is analogous to the nautical term in that the bulkhead is an internal wall which separates different parts of the vehicle.

Each unit of a double-stack car contains a single well; they often are constructed with three to five cars connected by articulated connectors. The intermediate connectors are supported by the centerplate of single trucks, often a 125-short-ton (112-long-ton; 113 t)-capacity truck but sometimes a 150-short-ton (134-long-ton; 136 t)-capacity one.

The neighbor’s bulkhead, which is at the same position on the beach profile as my replacement bulkhead but is three times longer than my own, was constructed operating heavy diesel equipment on ...
This example of multiple structures includes a massive seawall and riprap revetment. A bulkhead is a retaining wall, such as a bulkhead within a ship or a watershed retaining wall. It may also be used in mines to contain flooding. Coastal bulkheads are most often referred to as seawalls, bulkheading, or riprap revetments.
The aft pressure bulkhead is the white circular component; its web-like structure led a NASA technician to attach a large model spider to it for comedic effect. The aft pressure bulkhead or rear pressure bulkhead is the rear component of the pressure seal in all aircraft that cruise in a tropopause zone in the Earth's atmosphere. [ 1 ]
