Question 1892 Deck Safety

70% to pass

The strength of a deck will be increased by adding _______________.

A sheer
B deck beam brackets
C hatch beams
D camber
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) deck beam brackets. Deck beam brackets help increase the strength and rigidity of the deck structure by providing additional support to the deck beams. They connect the deck beams to the hull or deck structure, distributing the load more evenly and preventing excessive flexing or sagging of the deck. This improves the overall strength and integrity of the deck. The other options are not directly related to increasing the deck strength. Sheer (A) refers to the curved shape of the deck from bow to stern, camber (D) is the slight arching of the deck from side to side, and hatch beams (C) support the deck around hatch openings, but do not generally increase the overall deck strength.
