Re: Difference between "web" and "bulkhead"?
After doing a little bit of research and studying the plans in some of the "Anatomy of the Ship" books, it seems that a web is just a hull frame whose "web" (the distance between the inner and outer flanges) is larger than a typical frame. My non-expert eye is assuming they're typically used in areas which either receive a beating in heavy seas, or need some extra reinforcement due to heavy items above.
