    Hello!


    Could anyone help me with this doubt?

    Can i calculate the beam between the two hulls like an I beam reinforcement?

    My idea is calculate a flat bar ant calculate the deck plate and the wet-deck plates like flanges using the effective plate.

    Is it possible?
    Thank you
