Floating structures are provided. The floating structures are suitable for use as floating runways for aircraft, floating roadways, and supports for other facilities. The floating structures include a deck and one or more pontoons attached to the deck. The pontoons, with the deck attached, are caused to float in water contained in a basin, which in turn floats in a body of water. The basin provides damping or isolation of forces due to currents in the body of water, or prevailing winds, to reduce undesired or excessive motion of the deck. The deck supports are preferably capable of limited lateral movement relative to the pontoons, thereby permitting some movement of the pontoons independently and reducing stresses on the structure.
L'invention concerne des structures flottantes. Ces structures sont appropriées pour être utilisées comme pistes flottantes pour avions, routes flottantes et supports pour autres installations. Ces structures flottantes comprennent un pont et un ou plusieurs pontons fixés au pont. Ces pontons, reliés au pont, flottent dans l'eau contenue dans un bassin, qui flotte lui-même sur une étendue d'eau. Ce bassin assure l'amortissement ou l'isolation des forces dues aux courants dans l'étendue d'eau, ou aux vents dominants, afin de réduire tout mouvement indésirable ou excessif du pont. Les supports de ce pont peuvent effectuer un déplacement latéral limité par rapport aux pontons, ce qui assure un certain déplacement de ces derniers indépendamment et permet de réduire les contraintes sur la structure.
