P = Concentrated Load
PT = Man Load + Equipment + Spot Board
qT + 4 pcs Coupler kg
= 332 + 30 + ### + 4 X 2 kg
= 400 kg
Axial load on diagonal strut = 400
 PT = 400 Kg

qT = Transom Distributed Load (kg/m)

w/2 = Self Weight (SW)
= SW Transom Pipe + SW Board

w = 1500 mm SW Transom Pipe = Pipe weight per m (kg/m)

= 1.5 m = 2.84 kg/m
R1T R2T

Dimension of Board = 4 mL x 0.24 mW

Board Area per pcs = 0.96 m 2

Weight of Board per pcs = 10.1 kg

Board Specific Weight = 10.1 kg / 0.96 m2
= 10.5208 kg/m2

SW Board = Board Specific Weight x W

= 10.5208 kg/m2 x 1.5 m
= 15.7813 kg/m

Hence: qT = SW Transom Pipe + SW Board

= 2.84 + 15.7813 kg/m
= 18.6213 kg/m

7.1.3. Bending Moment :

å M = ¼ PL x L + 1/8 qL x L2
= ¼ (78.6158) x 1.5 + 1/8 x 2.84 x (2.0)2
= 80.2372266 + 1.42

å M = 1/8 qB x LB2

qB = Distributed load of board

= 3 kN/m2 x 0.24 m
= 0.7392 kN/m
LB = Board Length

å M = 1/8 qB x LB2
