Summing up the discussion it can
be said that the disaster of Titanic is in fact the best example which
illustrates how the mistakes of engineers can lead to disastrous impacts. Through
the analysis of problems due to the misconduct of engineers, it can be
concluded that with a proper knowledge of engineers and better materials, Titanic
would have been able to resist the disaster. With double bottoms, created by
having steel’s two layers that increase the ship’s length and keeping them away
through a distance of five feet, and increasing the bull’s sides, the hull’s
bottom plate would have been damaged without puncturing the top plate. With the
utilization of double bottom, the entrance of water into the ship would have
been minimized.
Through the extension of double
bottoms, no damage would have been sustained to the watertight compartments. With
the addition of another steel layer to the ship’s sides, it would have been
ensured that hull is not damaged since there would have been enough distance
between the outer and inner sidewalls. The hull would have not been punctured
at all this way. Additionally, if the compartments’ transverse bulkheads had
been raised, the water would have not spilled over the adjacent compartments
and thus damaged should have been evaded.
