일찌기 20세기 초반부터 지구의 마지막 남은 자원의 보고로서 또한 미래의 생화공간으로서 해양에 대한 관심이 고조되어 왔다. 해양의 에너지/광물 자원의 개발을 위한 노력은 이미 1950년대 부터 시작되어 상당한 가시적인 성과를 얻고 있다. 최근에는 특히 환경보존에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 육상기피시설물(공항, 폐기물 처리시설, 원자력 발전설비 등)들의 부지확보 문제를 해결하기 위하여 해양공간을 활용하는 방안이 선진각국에서 연구되고 있으며, 그중 가장 타당성이 높은 방안의 하난로서 각종 생산활동을 위한 플랜트를 대형 부유구조물 위에 설치하는 해상플랜트(Barge Mounted Plant, BMP)가 제안되고 있다. 원자력 발전설비를 비롯한 대형 프랜트를 부유구조물 위에 설치할 경우, 지진의 영향을 극소화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 해상의 파도, 조류, 바람, 일사에 의한 갑판의 열변형 등 불규칙적인 환경하중에 노출되므로 이러한 환경조건하에서 구조물이 설계 수명 동안 안전하게 기능을 다할 수 있는지를 세심하게 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 BMP의 안전성 평가방법에 대한 신뢰도를 높이고 평가결과에 대한 합리성을 제고하는 한편, 이를 바타응로 현재까지는 설계/건조 경험이 전무한 초대형 부유구조물의 구조설계와 관련된 기초기술 및 응용기술을 확보하는 문제는 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 부분이다.

Floating offshore structures keep its position by a mooring system against various kind of environmental loadings. For this reason, a reliable design of the mooring system is a key factor for initial design stage of a floating structure. However, there exists possibility of mooring failure, even the system is designed with enough safety margin, due to the unexpected extreme environmental conditions or long-term fatigue loadings. The breaking of one of the mooring lines may change the tension level of the other mooring lines, which can potentially result in a progressive failure of the entire structure. In this study, time domain numerical simulation of 10MW class wind-wave hybrid platform was carried out with partially broken mooring line. Overall platform responses and variations of the mooring line tension were numerically evaluated.

Structural design requirements for very large floating structures(VLFS) are different corresponding to this purpose and structural type. In this study, the structural design procedure of VLFS is described, composing of the following processes : construction of design conditions. choice of structural types and main materials, estimation of structural design loads, determination of structural arrangements, and scantling of structural members. As an example of practical application, the initial structural design of floating airport and container terminal for Pusan is demonstrated.

In this paper, the method calculating hydroelastic responses of very large floating structure close to a breakwater in waves is presented. The source-dipole distribution method is used to calculate the generalized radiation problem considering breakwater effects and the diffraction problem is analyzed by using the source-dipole distribution andvelocity potential continuation method. The response of a VLFS is approximated by anexpansion in terms of a free-free beam. Calculated model is a VLFS with 1000m in length in a sea with a straight breakwater. The vertical displacements and bonding moments around a VLFS are calculated by variations for distance between a VLFS and a breakwater and incident wave angle to know the effect of a breakwater.

This paper presents new equations for member forces in concrete floating structures under wave loadings. The currently adopted design equations for wave loadings disregard the effect of mismatch between design wave length and the length of the structure. In most cases, however, additional internal forces occur due to disequilibriating buoyancy caused by the difference between design wave length and the length of the structure. In this study, new design equations considering the influence of the disequlibriating buoyancy is proposed. In addition, finite element solutions are sought to demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed design formulae in estimating the actual internal forces considering the structure as either rigid or flexible. It has been found that member forces are decreased approximately to around 55% for flexible model when compared with the rigid one.

There has been an increasing number of studies on photovoltaic energy generation system in an offshore site with the largest energy generation efficiency, as increasing the researches and developments of renewable energies for use of offshore space and resources to replace existing fossil fuels and resolve environmental challenges. For installation and operation of floating photovoltaic systems in an offshore site with harsher environmental conditions, a stiffness of structural members comprising the total system must be reinforced to inland water spaces as dams, reservoirs etc., which have relatively weak condition. However, there are various limitations for the reinforcement of structural stiffness of the system, including producible size, total mass of the system, economic efficiency, etc. Thus, in this study, a floating breakwater is considered for reducing wave loads on the system and minimizing the reinforcement of the structural members. Wave reduction performances of floating breakwaters are evaluated, considering size and distance to the system. The wave loads on the system are evaluated using the higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM), considering the multi-body effect of buoys. Stresses on structural members are assessed by coupled analyses using the finite element method (FEM), considering the wave loads and hydrodynamic characteristics. As the maximum stresses on each of the cases are reviewed and compared, the effect of floating breakwater for floating photovoltaic system is checked, and it is confirmed that the size of breakwater has a significant effect on structural responses of the system.

In this paper, elastic responses of a floating structure in waves with a breakwater are presented. The method of source-dipole distribution is used to analyze the velocity potentials for the fluid region. The deflections of structure are expanded approximately in terms of natural mode functions of free-free beam. The model for present calculation is a floating plate with an length of 1000m and the hydroelastic responses for a floating structure with a straight breakwater are shown. The effects of distance between breakwater and structure, bending rigidity and relative length of regular waves are examined.
