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.
