Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floatable structure such as a floatable platform and a method of making same.
  • Marine floatable platforms for carrying various loads and made of reinforced concrete are known.
  • Some platforms of substantially parallelepipedal shape are made by casting concrete in a drydock. Such method offers no flexibility and the preparation of the drydock is quite time expensive.
  • US 3828708 discloses a pre-stressed concrete barge in which the hull is constructed from a plurality of modules which are longitudinally prestressed by tendons that are post-tensioned. Since the modules are cast as full-transverse cross-sectional elements, any change of the barge width requires the development of new cross-sectional elements. Furthermore, the elements become cumbersome and very heavy to manipulate if the barge is to have large dimensions.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the invention relate to a floatable structure comprising at least two separate hulls each having a longitudinal axis, each hull comprising along the longitudinal axis a succession of hollow concrete segments.
  • separate hulls mean that the hulls are adjacent but distant from each other and do not possess a partitioning wall in common. The hulls can thus be made independently of each other if one desires so.
  • the longitudinal axes of the hulls are preferably parallel.
  • a floatable structure according to the invention is modular and easy to adapt to the load by varying the number of hulls and the number of segments of each hull.
  • Each hull forms a hollow tubular body that provides buoyancy to the structure.
  • the segments do not extend along the full transverse cross section of the structure and remain easier to make than elements extending along the full transverse cross section of the structure as in some of the prior art discussed above.
  • the invention thus renders easier to make structures of large dimensions, with hulls of height or diameter of 5m or more for example.
  • the length and/or width of the floatable structure may be greater than 20m or 50m.
  • the floatable structure preferably comprises a plurality of junction elements spaced along the longitudinal axis, each junction element connecting the two hulls together.
  • junction elements act like spacers and make the hulls behave like a monolithic body.
  • Each junction element is preferably a cross beam element, i.e. comprises at least two beams that cross. This reduces weight while offering good mechanical stability to connect the hulls.
  • Each junction element preferably is made of concrete, preferably reinforced concrete, and comprises a pre-stressing layout.
  • the junction element may comprise at least one passage for at least one tendon that is tensioned once the junction element is assembled to adjacent concrete segments of the hulls.
  • the junction element comprises a plurality of passages for a plurality of tendons that are tensioned once the junction element is assembled to the concrete segments of the hulls. The prestressing of the junction elements improves the resistance of the assembly and helps obtain a monolithic behavior.
  • Each junction element may connect each hull at two separate upper and lower locations.
  • the upper location is preferably situated above mid-height of the segment, while the lower location is preferably situated below the mid-height of the segment.
  • Each junction element may comprise top and lower horizontal beams and diagonal beams connecting the top and lower horizontal beams.
  • These beams preferably each comprise a pre-stressing layout and they all may integrate sheaths or ducts for the introduction of tendons.
  • Each junction element may be a one-piece element. In a variant, it may comprise at least two preformed assembled parts.
  • Each hollow segment preferably comprises two preformed elements that are connected. These elements are preferably half ring elements, preferably left and right elements but in a variant could be top and bottom elements. These elements can easily be made by an industrial plant in large numbers even for large structures. Each element may be a half ring element, but the cross-sectional profile of the elements may be other than semicircular, depending for example on hydrodynamic considerations. Preferably the elements are symmetrical, but if required by some hydrodynamic or other considerations, they may be dissymmetric.
  • the height of the left or right element may range from 4 to 32 m, and its width (i.e. dimension along the longitudinal axis of the hull) may range from 1 to 10 m.
  • the outer radius of curvature of the half ring element may range from 2 to 16 m.
  • the left and right elements are identical or symmetrical.
  • they are made of reinforced concrete, with rebar reinforcement cages.
  • the left and right elements have preferably matched cast transversal joints. They preferably comprise female and male complementary shear keys that contribute to properly position one element in contact with the adjacent one during the assembly operation, and this also increases shear resistance of each joint.
  • the interface between two consecutive left or right elements may be filled with a polymeric binder such as an epoxy-based resin.
  • Each hull may comprise at least one cast in situ longitudinal beam, preferably one lower and one top cast in situ beams. These beams are preferably made of prestressed reinforced concrete and provide more stiffness to the hulls.
  • the beams may comprise rebar and may be pre-stressed with longitudinal tendons internal to the beams, that are post-tensioned after the concrete has set.
  • the top longitudinal beam may also serve to connect the corresponding hull to a top slab, e.g. the deck of the platform.
  • the longitudinal beams extend in gaps between the left and right elements. The elements of the segments preferably have rebar extending within the longitudinal beam(s).
  • Each hollow segment may comprise at least one pre-slab for casting the at least one cast in situ longitudinal beam, especially the top longitudinal beam.
  • Each hull comprises post-tensioned tendons extending from one longitudinal end of the hull to the opposite longitudinal end. These tendons apply an axial load to the segments.
  • Each hull is closed at opposite longitudinal ends, preferably with bulkheads.
  • Each hollow segment is preferably connected to a respective cradle, preferably by bolting.
  • the cradle is useful when assembling the left and right elements of each hull as it maintains the elements in a predefined position, preferably vertical, and offers some wind resistance until the assembly is completed.
  • each cradle comprises a shoulder against which an end of the element abuts, which helps block the element in a given position.
  • the cradles may be removed or not once the hulls are completed or when the platform has reached the launch site.
  • the cradles may be configured to play an hydrodynamic role, for example to dampen structure oscillations in the sea, in which case the cradles remain advantageously permanently fixed on the corresponding hulls.
  • Each hollow segment may comprise at least one stiffening rib. This rib extends preferably along the left and right elements. The rib may be provided with openings for guiding tensioning tendons used for pre-stressing the hull.
  • Each hull may comprise at least one internal reinforcement member, such as a brace, diaphragm or ties, in particular radial ties.
  • This reinforcement member may help prevent ovalization of the hull because of localized external load.
  • the brace may have a star configuration and bear on stiffening ribs of the left and right elements.
  • the invention also provides a method for the construction of a floatable structure such as the one defined above, comprising at least two separate hulls, the method comprising assembling pre-formed concrete elements on respective cradles to form at least two adjacent segments successions, preferably left and right pre-formed elements.
  • the method may comprise installing junction elements between the at least two adjacent segments successions.
  • the method may further comprise casting in situ at least one longitudinal beam along each succession of segments, preferably a top longitudinal beam, more preferably a top longitudinal beam and a lower longitudinal beam.
  • Each pre-formed concrete element is preferably cast horizontally in a U configuration with the concavity of the U oriented upwards, then pivoted vertically by a quarter of turn ready for installing on the cradle, the transverse faces of the pre-formed concrete elements preferably being match cast on a long bench.
  • the top and lower longitudinal beams are provided each with rebar and with sheaths or ducts for post-tensioned tendons.
  • the method may comprise installing pre-stressing tendons along the succession of segments. These tendons may be internal to wall of the segments or external to the wall of the segments. The tendons may go through ribs protruding on the internal surface of the hulls.
  • the method may comprise installing bulkheads at the ends of each succession of segments.
  • the method may comprise making a top structure such as a top slab, to which the hulls are connected, preferably with rebar extending within the concrete of the top slab and within the concrete of the hull, preferably the concrete of the top longitudinal beam.
  • the method may comprise installing pre-slabs on the hull segments before pouring the concrete to form the top longitudinal beam.
  • the top slab is made of preformed pre-slabs which are submitted to pre-stressing as an axial load is applied to the hull hollow segments thanks to the tendons cited above.
  • the method may comprise pre-stressing the hulls by applying an axial load to the segments using post-tensioned tendons.
  • the method may comprise prestressing the junction elements.
  • the method may comprise pouring or injecting in situ joint at the interface between the junction element and the adjacent segments and prestressing the junction element once the joint has hardened, the junction element preferably being a cross beam element.
  • inflatable seals are used at the interface of the junction element with the segments to define a volume where grout or other filler is poured or injected.
  • the floatable structure 1 shown in Figure 1 is a platform comprising a top structure such as a top slab 2 and a floatable body 3 supporting the top slab 2.
  • the floatable body 3 comprises two hulls 10 each extending along a longitudinal axis X, the longitudinal axes of the hulls 10 being parallel in the example shown.
  • Each hull 10 comprises a succession of hollow segments 20 extending along the longitudinal axis X, and each hull is closed by bulkheads 70 at its longitudinal ends.
  • Each hollow segment 20 is in the example shown a ring segment of substantially circular outline, attached to a respective cradle 23.
  • a few cradles 23 are laid on a supporting structure lying above ground level at the assembly zone, as the completed platform will need to be transported to a launch site by any appropriate transportation equipment such as a tracked trolley or Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) or similar equipment.
  • SPMT Self-Propelled Modular Transporter
  • the cradles 23 are laid one next to the other with some axial spacing to allow the necessary movement of the adjacent ring segments 20 when they are assembled longitudinally. Any remaining gap between adjacent cradles 23 after assembly of the ring segments 20 is completed may be filled with any appropriate filler such as concrete.
  • the half ring elements 24 are fixed on the cradles 23 using bolts (not shown), introduced into openings 25 of the cradles 23 as shown in Figures 9 and 11 .
  • Each cradle 23 comprises a top concave surface of shape complementary to the elements 24, with a central boss 26 as shown in Figure 10 .
  • the boss 26 defines opposite shoulders 27 against which respective lower ends of corresponding half ring elements 24 abuts, thus blocking these in rotation.
  • Each half ring element 24 may be hoisted down onto the corresponding cradle 23, and the bolting of the element on this cradle preferably takes place before the element is detached from the hoist.
  • the cooperation between the element 24 and the cradle 23 ensures the element 24 remains stable and withstands any transverse wind load that may occur on the construction site (if the assembly takes place outdoors).
  • Figure 2B shows left and right half ring elements 24 lying on a respective cradle 23.
  • the floatable body 3 comprises two hulls 10, two successions of segments 23 are assembled, as shown in Figure 2C , side by side.
  • Adjacent half ring elements 24 are preferably match cast and comprise on their axial end surfaces (i.e. faces transverse to longitudinal axis X) complementary male 24a and female 24b shear keys as shown in Figure 21 .
  • the elements 24 may be cast in a U configuration as shown in Figure 8 , with the concavity of the U facing upwards.
  • the elements 24 may be cast along a long bench.
  • the end of the formwork used to cast an element 24 may be vertical and be constituted by the end face of another element 24 previously cast. In this way the elements 24 are match cast, which allows to easily obtain interlocking shapes at the interface of adjacent elements.
  • the formwork is removed, and the elements may be pivoted about a quarter of a turn to reach a vertical configuration ready for installation on a respective cradle. This facilitates the handling of the elements and their installation on the cradles, as the elements may be heavy and bulky.
  • a binder 100 such as a polymer resin, e.g. an epoxy-based resin, before the elements 24 are brought together. Provisional longitudinal pre-stressing is advantageously applied to the elements 24 under assembly to ensure a good repartition of the binder at the interface of the elements 24 during polymerization of the binder and avoid any undesirable relative move of the elements 24.
  • junction elements 30 are installed between the adjacent successions of ring segments 20 as shown in Figure 2D .
  • Each junction element 30 is preferably a cross beam element 30 comprising, as shown in Figure 12 , a top beam 31 and a lower beam 32 connected by two diagonal beams 33 that cross in their middle.
  • the beams 33 may be perpendicular to each other as in the shown example.
  • Top and lower beams 31 have ends 34 of a concave shape configured to substantially match the outer surface of the adjacent half ring elements 24.
  • the junction element 30 also comprises sheaths or ducts 36 extending internally along each beam 31, 32 or 33 for the introduction of tensioning tendons (not shown).
  • junction elements 30 are preformed reinforced concrete elements that are installed using temporary stability components.
  • junction elements 30 are one-piece elements, they may be inserted horizontally between the hulls 10 with a corresponding trolley moving longitudinally between the hulls and erected once they reach their destination.
  • junction elements are made of multiple parts, some parts may be installed before the others.
