In an effort to understand the cause of recent catastrophic failures of inland tank barges and resulting major oil spills, and to reduce the possibility of future casualties the Coast Guard Marine Safety Center studied the 'buckling' phenomenon. A method for predicting the compressive strength of a longitudinally stiffened panel, presented by Owen F. Hughes in Ship Structural Design, was applied to 23 existing inland tank barges randomly selected to represent the fleet.
