The invention concerns a supporting method and apparatus for an element to be supported. This apparatus (10) comprises a supporting device (11) including at least a closed chamber or one with controlled outflow (11a), filling (50) or evacuating (52) means of a fluid for filling the chamber and means (21) for measuring the distance (d) separating the upper surface (12) of the chamber from its lower surface (13). The invention is characterised in that it further comprises a device for measuring the reaction of the supporting device (11) relative to the morphological data of the element to be supported (P1 or P2), as well as a control system comprising means (42) for combining the measurement of the penetration distance (d) supplied by the measuring device (20) with the measurement of the reaction supplied by the reaction measuring device (30). This combination advantageously provides a summation of the two results obtained. The invention enables to maintain support substantially at the equilibrium corresponding substantially to a predetermined water line.

L'invention concerne un procédé et appareil de support d'un élément à supporter. Cet appareil (10) comprend un dispositif de support (11) comprenant au moins une chambre fermée ou à échappement contrôlé (11a), des moyens de remplissage (50) ou d'évacuation (52) d'un fluide de remplissage de la chambre et des moyens (21) de mesure de la distance (d) séparant la face supérieure (12) de la chambre de la face inférieure (13) de la chambre, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre un dispositif (30) de mesure de la réaction du dispositif de support (11) relativement aux données morphologiques de l'élément à supporter (P1 ou P2), ainsi qu'un système de commande comprenant des moyens (42) de combinaison de la mesure de la distance d'enfoncement (d) fournie par le dispositif de mesure (20) avec la mesure de la réaction fournie par le dispositif de mesure de réaction (30). Cette combinaison est avantageusement une sommation des deux mesures obtenues. L'invention permet d'aboutir à un support sensiblement à l'équilibre correspondant sensiblement à une ligne de flottaison prédéterminée.
