The safety assessment of very large floating structure

摘要

In recent years, it has been proposed to build Very Large Structures (VLFS) such as floating airport for effective Ocean space utilization. Safety assessment of mooring system using failure probability is one of the most important items for realizing the VLFS. In this paper a simulation modes for calculating failure probability of mooring system of a 5000m class VLFS built within breakwaters has been proposed. And the characteristics of failure probability about some design parameters has been shown.
