Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention provides floating structures, also referred to herein as "floating platforms", for use in, for example, airports, bridges, causeways, production facilities, power generation facilities, recreational and recreational facilities, residential structures, waste treatment facilities and other facility. Floating platforms are particularly suitable for airports and aircraft landing strips, including airport runways, as the structure of the platform reduces the degree of motion caused by conditions such as prevailing winds, currents, and tides in bodies of water compared to traditional floating structures such as barges and ships . Floating platforms are also particularly useful for bridges between land masses or between fixed or floating man-made structures.

[0020] A floating structure as described herein includes at least one deck; one or more flotation devices connected to and supporting the deck; and one or more devices for reducing the effect of cu...

Abstract

Floating structures are provided. The floating structures are suitable for use as floating runways for aircraft, floating roadways, and supports for other facilities. The floating structures include a deck and one or more pontoons attached to the deck. The pontoons, with the deck attached, are caused to float in water contained in a basin, which in turn floats in a body of water. The basin provides damping or isolation of forces due to currents in the body of water, or prevailing winds, to reduce undesired or excessive motion of the deck. The deck supports are preferably capable of limited lateral movement relative to the pontoons, thereby permitting some movement of the pontoons independently and reducing stresses on the structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a floating structure and, in particular, the present invention relates to a floating structure for maintaining a platform supporting an airstrip, bridge or other structure floating on a body of water. Background technique [0002] When a structure needs to be placed temporarily or permanently, close to land or on a large body of water, constraints such as the scarcity of available land have led to the development of devices such as floating platforms, which can support a structure on a body of water. For example, the floating runway disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,906,171 provides a floating surface for aircraft to land or take off, similar to the surface on an aircraft carrier. For example, the floating airport disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,398,635 can further include means for controlling the position of the floating airport by compensating for prevailing wind and current disturbances to the position of the floating airport. ...
