Mobile Ocean Basing Systems - A Concrete Concept
Abstract
Large floating ocean platforms are envisioned as satisfying basing requirements of the Navy in the mid 80's. The floating platforms would consist of structural components mass-produced, constructed into modules ashore, launched, towed to the site and assembled into platforms. This investigation studied various configurations using concrete as the construction material. The scope of effort included synthesis of concepts, concrete production, construction methodology and cost, and an RDT and E plan. It is concluded that concrete is a feasible and practical construction material for large ocean platforms.
