The side longitudinals of production ships permanently installed in hostile North Sea environmental conditions are subjected to a significant dynamic loading. During the last years a considerable effort has been made to reduce the possibility for fatigue cracking of the connections between the side longitudinals and the transverse frames by improvement of the local geometry to reduce the stress concentrations. This paper describes the background for this work and our recommendations for new designs are given.
