Description
Summary:This report presents a study of possible implementation of a new system of floating airport. Unlike the existing other systems that are also under research, it does not move and oscillate under the action of waves and wind, however it still makes use of the buoyancy of sea water to resist the gravity forces. Study of structure behaviour under static load combinations and dynamic analysis under seismic excitation are included in this project. The static analysis is presented in this report.
