Description
Groundbreaking and comprizing articles by expert contributors, this volume provides a comprehensive treatment of VLFSs and their relationship with the sea, marine habitats, the pollution of costal waters and tidal and natural current flow.
It looks in-depth at:
- VLFS and the colonization of ocean space with their appearance in the waters off developed coastal cities
- wave properties, which is essential for estimating the loading on the VLFS as well as for modelling structure-fluid interactions
- hydroelastic and structural analysis of VLFS at an overall level and the cell level
- the analysis and design of breakwaters
- simulation models to understand the actual flow of water through the VLFS and to determine the drift forces for the mooring systems
- anti-corrosion and maintenance systems
- new research and developments, with emphasis on the Mega-Float, a 1 km long floating test runway.
Well-illustrated with photographs, drawings, equations for mathematical modelling and analysis and extensively referenced, Very Large Floating Structures is ideal for professionals, academics and students of civil and structural engineering.
