    Hello,

    Is there anywhere in LR or other class rules where it states what the force/acceleration is due to heeling? So when designing an equipment seat, what factor do you use to account for roll..it must be designed slightly stronger since the ship is not static

    Heeling is static, hence no acceleration. Changes in heeling or rolling will have accelerations. I find it an interesting subject. Also, classification societies and regulations are addressing the ergonomics of acceleration.

    Gonzo, agree with what you say. So yeah, is there anywhere in class rules that gives a guide on acceleration due to change in heel...

    In LR SSC rules, there is nothing specific, just the usual, nominal 0.2g longitudinal and 0.5g transverse. But states designer to supply data for foundations where appropriate.
    In the Big Ship rules, it is basically the same. However guidance is also given such as in Pt.3 Ch.14. Sec.8:

    In the Common Structural rules for Tankers etc there is a section dedicated to ship motions, Section 7 Loads, sec.3.3

    Etc etc...with more on the following section.

    So, there is some guidance, depends upon the type of boat you are designing using LR rules.

    I think he is asking about seats. There are some rules about the acceleration the crew can be exposed to, particularly for high speed vessels. As far as I know they are not part of any class society, but other organizations like OSHA and ISO

    Yes, seats = seatings = foundations = for any heavy equipment that is fixed.

    Seats is a generic word for all.
