← HistoryReferring to 18th-century flush-deck ship construction, which mechanism contributes to hull weakness during hogging?
A)Inadequate longitudinal frame scarfing✓
B)Excessive caulking seam compression
C)Insufficient copper sheathing overlap
D)Premature mast step degradation
💡 Explanation
Inadequate scarfing joins longitudinal frame components, distributing stress poorly during hogging forces, undermining structural integrity because longitudinal bending will concentrate at weak points. Therefore, frame separation occurs rather than uniform bending, bypassing stronger continuousframe designs.
