    About Standard

      SDC Verifier

    The Lloyd’s Register Common Structural Rules (CSR) Plate Buckling standard defines procedures to evaluate the buckling strength of thin-walled plate elements under compressive, shear, and in-plane loads in ship and offshore structures.

    It applies to:

    • Hull structures and cargo holds in ships and oil tankers
    • Decks, bulkheads, and stiffened panels in offshore platforms and marine vessels
    • Structural elements in FPSOs and rigs exposed to extreme operational conditions

    The 2024 version is based on Part 1, Chapter 8 of LR’s CSR, providing a unified methodology to assess and ensure buckling resistance. It ensures structures meet classification society requirements with a focus on safety, durability, and performance under high-stress marine environments.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is LR CSR Plate Buckling?

    It’s a standard under Lloyd’s Register’s Common Structural Rules used to assess the buckling strength of plates in ship and offshore structures. It ensures these components can resist failure from compressive and shear loads.

    Which structures are covered under this standard?

    Hull structures, decks, bulkheads, cargo holds, and other load-bearing plates in marine and offshore vessels—including oil tankers, FPSOs, and bulk carriers.

    How does SDC Verifier implement this standard?

    SDC Verifier automates all plate buckling checks based on the 2024 CSR guidelines. With the Panel Finder tool, it identifies critical plate sections, applies safety factors, and evaluates stress distributions.

    Can I adjust factors like thickness or stress averaging?

    Yes. You can control options like thickness factors, stress averaging methods, safety coefficients, and moment conversion settings directly in the interface.

    Where can I find help for setting it up?

    Every standard comes with a detailed Help article. For LR CSR Plate Buckling, press Help | SDC Verifier from the ribbon after adding the standard to your model.
