Abstract

Une tour flottante de haute mer, oscillante et autostable comporte un chapeau à sa partie supérieure, relié par une colonne à une capacité de flottabilité partiellement remplie d'air, provoquant un amortissement pneumatique partiel des mouvements verticaux de la tour; à sa partie inférieure, la tour flottante comporte un lest. La colonne de liaison entre le chapeau et la capacité de flottabilité possède un diamètre progressif pour tenir compte des moments d'encastrement dus aux pressions exercées par la mer sur des protections anti-houle.A floating, oscillating and freestanding seagoing tower has a cap at its upper part, connected by a column to a buoyancy capacity partially filled with air, causing partial pneumatic damping of the vertical movements of the tower; at its lower part, the floating tower has a ballast. The connecting column between the cap and the buoyancy capacity has a progressive diameter to take account of the embedding moments due to the pressures exerted by the sea on the anti-swell protections.
