The ultimate load carrying capacity of ship shaped structures subjected to asymmetrical longitudinal bending moments is analysed here. The analysis is performed by the finite element method and by the approach stipulated by the Common Structural Rules. The effect of the shape of initial imperfections and of the transverse net section on the ultimate strength is evaluated for five different net sections. An update on the existing progressive collapse analysis on the cross-section subjected to asymmetrical bending and a new interaction curve accounting for the asymmetric response of the studied structures are proposed.
