1.Combination of still water and wave loads Still water and wave loads :global vertical longitudinal still water and wave induced bending moments amidships Why: As for loads acting on a ship hull girder, the most important one is the combined global longitudinal vertical still-water and wave induced bending moments amidships because it is directly related to the reliability-based analysis and design of a ship hull beam. Hence, it firstly is necessary to develop an effective probabilistic model for the combined load.

3. NUMERICAL ANALYSES a) Analysis of the Monte Carlo simulation results A lot of simulations are carried out for the different kinds of ships. In each case, 200 samples are produced for extreme values of individual and combined loads in the design time of 1 and 20 years. The simulation time is different for each case, which can vary from about 5 to 40 minutes because the mean voyage times are different for different ships.

TypeⅡ:Recommended theoretical probabilistic model for the combined extreme loads: It is very hard to give a good reason why TypeⅡextreme value distribution is much better than TypeⅠmodel for the example cases. The possible reasons are as follows; a) the domain of definition of TypeⅡmodel is much suitable for modelling the distribution of the combined extreme value than TypeⅠmodel; b) the parent distribution of the combined extreme value may have a polynomial tail.

4. CONCLUSIONS Based on Poisson models, a systematic Monte Carlo simulation is developed to estimate extreme values of the combined load effects of ocean-going ships. The extreme values simulated are compared with those based on the theoretical methods (Huang & Moan 2008). The numerical analyses show that the results based on the two methods agree with very well but the numerical solutions are on the conservative side. Moreover, the empirical distribution of the combined extreme values based on the Monte Carlo simulation can be well fitted to the GEV distribution (the theoretical distribution model of TypeⅡ), which will be very convenient for the reliability analyses of the ship hull beam.

4. CONCLUSIONS By considering the effect of fatigue damage on the bending capacity of a ship hull beam, the strength model of a ship hull beam is established, which is very convenient to use in the reliability-based analysis and design of a ship hull beam because it is simply based on the main dimension of a ship under design. Finally, with the developed load and strength modes, the reliability analysis and design of a ship hull beam are carried out. Hence, an effective method is established for reliabilitybased analysis and design of a ship hull beam
