Definitions

• the present invention relates to the fixed structure techniques such as any kind of house, garden, road, airport, car park, children's park and holiday village built on water in the seas, lakes and rivers.
• a big proportion of the earth surface covered with the continents comprises the mountains, streams, lakes, forests, agricultural fields, deserts and excessively dry, hot or cold regions unsuitable for urbanization. In this case, it has started to become important to gain land from the seas and the lakes in the regions where the continents joint the seas suitable for the settling of people.
• the twists, longitudinal ditches, running of water over the runway and the shakes due to the waves may make it impossible for the airplanes to land on the runway.
• the tolerable ditches, twists and shakes are very restricted for an airplane that lands on the runway tangentially with a velocity of above two hundred kilometers per hour.
• the platforms placed on the floats and the pontoons sometimes make it impossible to have a structure of runway where the airplane may land on.
• the floating runway project developed to expand the San Francisco airport titled "San Francisco floating runway expansion proposal" (web page: www.floatinc.com) was rejected for such technical reasons in the year 1999.
• the object of our invention which relates to the fixed structure techniques such as any kind of house, garden, road, airport, car park, children's park and holiday village built on water in the seas, lakes and rivers is to eliminate completely 12 problems present in the floating systems and to eliminate completely or to a great extent 5 problems present in the stake systems.
• the pontoons and the floats are submerged and fixed up to a certain depth of water by means of the steel rope mechanism with adjustable length, using the weights close to twice of the buoyancy, in order to prevent them from being affected by the waves on the water level and the rises and the falls in the water level. Consequently, said floats or pontoons having strength suitable for the water pressure attain a vertical mechanical stability close to the dynamic ground stability, whereby they always try to get out of water, but they can go neither downwards nor upwards as they are fixed to the weight on the floor.

• This simple balanced system reflects the principle of the floats (23) and steel floats (22) filled with air (12) according to the invention.
• the chipboard platform (7) with a suitable size on the legs of the table (8) extending out of water.
• This experiment gives the same conditions and results for the glass shaped hollow steel floats (22) (see Figure-3).
• the system will be observed to be influenced by the waves (11) on the water surface (5) only to a negligible extent.
• the concrete float (23) with an open bottom side will be seen to provide the same function, when used in place of the concrete pontoon closed on all sides and filled with foam. In the buoyancy calculations, it must be taken into account that the water (10) will fill the gap of air compressed by the water pressure and reduced slightly in volume.
• the floating systems As the example of floating system, the platform with balls (17), the platform with bucket (18), the platform with steel floats with an open bottom side (19) and the concrete platform filled with air with an open bottom side (25) are shown respectively in Figure- 1, Figure-2, Figure-3 and Figure-4.
• the floating systems are open to and unprotected against any effect of the waves, currents, storms and water level variations. They may be partially protected against some of said impacts by way of connecting to the floor or the shore by means of ropes.
• a stand (28) is placed on the inverted bucket (15) which submerged by means of weight (4) in the water (10) filled into the glass jar (29).
• Playing cards (27) are arranged symbolically on the stand (28) in such a way that they are very easy to collapse. It was observed that the playing cards (27) do not collapse even when the water (10) is caused to break into waves.
• FIG-6 the three-dimensional sectional view of the concrete float (23) filled with air (12) and having an open bottom side.
• a plurality of these floats may be produced in combination, by means of thp moulds. In this way, very high buoyancies are obtained.
• Figure-7 we see the method for seating on the floor by means of four weights (4) and four ropes (3), while Figure-8 shows the method of fixation using the cross connections (26).
• Figure-9 the column pipes (21) are observed to be reinforced by 8 flags (30) for the connection thereof to the float (22), in the sectional view of the hollow steel float (22) with an open bottom side. Said flags (30) are taken into the float (22) for hydrodynamic reasons, in order to reduce the overall surface of the float (22).
• the column (21) centered and reinforced by 8 flags (30) on the inside must be made of preferably seamless pipe with suitable diameter and high wall thickness.
• the rope (3) and the pipe (33) with suitable diameter serving to convey the water (10) and air (12) and extending up to the lower sections of the column pass.
• Said pipe (33) open to water on the lower end and connected to the rope length adjustment outlet (34) close to the platform (7) on the upper end makes up for the reduced amount of air in the float (22) by means of pressurized air (12), when necessary. It must be of a sufficiently large inner diameter so that it will not hinder the re-adjustment of the rope (3) length when needed.
• the warm floor water sucked through this pipe (33) must be of such an amount to allow the circulation thereof from the platform (7) serpentine system by means of the circulation motors. In this way, icing is prevented on the platform surface which is open on the bottom and the top to the weather conditions.
• Figure- 12 shows the positioning of the connection ratchets (35) and the rope connection handle (40) in the steel float (22) with the bottom side open, while Figure- 13 shows their details.
• the flange (20) connecting the column (21) with the platform (7) and 4 bolt holes (37) which enable securing said flange by means of bolts to the platform (7) may be seen.
• 8 reinforcing flags (30) are welded to the point where the column is connected to the flange plate (20).
• FIG- 16 6 pieces of the concrete floats (23) with bottom side open are shown in cross-section in the form of a single unit, where it may also be seen that the number of cells of the float (23) may be increased and enlarged to the extent allowed by the size of the big moulds.
• Figure- 18 shows the details of the rope pipe (33) along with the details of the rope length adjustment outlet (34), which also enables the air and water discharge, where the ironstones (42) of the column (21) with semi-circular cross section cast in combined mould with the concrete float with round sides facing one another may also be seen.
• a pipe is passed inside the column (21) with a semi-circular cross section, which pipe connects to the float (23) by means of the column (21) starting under the concrete platform (7), passes through the side screen wall of the float (23) and extends up to the concrete projecting handles (43) connecting the floats (23) with the weights (4).
• the upper end of this pipe starts immediately below the column ironstones (42) and extends up to under the concrete projecting handles (43) connecting the weight (4).
• Said pipe (33) takes on 3 functions, namely making up for the amount of air lost from the float, sucking from the bottom the serpentine (47) water and being the rope length adjustment outlet (34).
• Figure-23 shows how the concrete float (23) blocks in the form of 10-cell monoblock are brought side by side, are connected to one another by way of clamping from the columns (21) and how the monoblock platform (7) may be easily cast on the water using wooden moulds from below, as in adding a storey in a construction.
• Figure-24 shows in detail how two columns (21) with semi-circular cross section of two concrete floats (23) brought side by side are converted to a cylindrical (45) column (21). Reference to the horizontal sectional view in Figure-25, it is possible to understand at what depth from the water level (5) the monoblock concrete floats (23) with bottom side open brought side by side will be submerged.
• a three-dimensional airplane runway section is formed by connecting the weights (4) with the float (23) units by means of the ropes (3), connecting the float (23) units to one another by means of clamps from the columns (21), adjusting the rope (3) lengths, aligning all the float (23) units to the same level and completing the cast of the monoblock concrete platform (7) over the column ironstones (42) by means of the moulds.
• the weight connecting handles (41) are seen in a detailed view of the rope (3) connections of the weights (4).
• Figure-28 illustrates the sectional view of the completed runway and the water level (5).
• the concrete floats (23) are submerged and secured in the water (10) up to the half length of the columns (21), by means of the ropes (3) connected with the weights (4) arranged on water (10) floor.
• the oscillations are minimized in every direction by occasionally employing transversal and longitudinal crosswise ropes (26).
• Figure-29 illustrates the transversal crosswise rope connection (26), weight (4), concrete float (23), column (21) and platform (7) in transverse cross section, as well as the water level.
• Figure-30 includes the detailed view showing the necessity to secure to one another the crosswise rope connections (26).
• Figure-31 is a cross sectional view illustrating how the rope (3) lengths will be regulated in cases where the water (10) floor is not smooth and how the runway formed by the concrete floats (23) will be positioned in a flat manner. As seen in the figures, the floats (23) are always adjusted so that they are submerged in water (20) by half, with the steel floats (22) being included.
• a three-dimensional airplane runway section is formed by connecting the weights (4) with the float (22) units by means of the ropes (3), clamping the float (22) units to one another by means of ratchets (35) to form steel floats (22) in the form of monoblock, adjusting the rope (3) lengths, aligning all the float (22) units to the same level and completing the cast of the monoblock concrete platform (7) over the column connecting pieces (20) by means of the moulds.
• the present invention may be used to construct roads, bridges, car parks, airports, houses, amusement centers, business centers, social facilities, sport complexes, concert centers, earthquake houses, agricultural fields and the road connections between the islands, between the islands and the shores and between the shores and in all the fixed structures on the platforms, owing to the formation of the platforms suitable for any fixed structure on the water having high stability even in deep waters.
