THE RESULTS OF NUMERICAL RESEARCH OF FLOATING REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES OFTHE NORTH TIDAL POWER PLANT
Abstract
This article contains results of the numerical simulation of stress-deformed state and structure strength of floating reinforced concrete caissons of a tidal power plant. Numerical simulation was made using finite-element method. In this work a proposal to place floating caissons on unprepared underwater foundation is justified, taking into consideration, among other factors, seismic forces.
