BUOYANCY-SUPPORTED STRUTS FOR OCEAN PLATFORMS ABSTRACT The means disclosed for providing buoyancy allows two or more air canisters to be mounted one above the other on a section of the strut, without touching the delicate sides of the highly stressed part of the section. The canisters and the struts may thus be of a length determined by the differing manufacturing economies of each. The lifting of this restraint makes it economically possible to produce a strut in the form of a practical tether for a tension-leg platform for deep ocean use. The means for holding the buoyancy canisters comprises tension cords which attach flotation abutment plates to a bulbous (relatively unstressed) end of the section. Also disclosed is a means of deploying the strut with its buoyancy when the sections are to be screwed together.
