Cu00d3nica floating platform in concrete for the generation of energy eu00d3lica in deep seas

摘要

The invenu00c7u00c3o is a new type of floating structure suitable to support applications with strong horizontal solicitau00c7u00d5es, as it is the case of the energy generators eu00d3lica.The main structural material of the concrete platform is armed, and she is so designed to ensure that this concrete estaru00c1 always under compression and completely immersed.The platform is able to be anchored in deep seas. She composed especially by an elongated inverted cone (1), disposed vertically and with rounded corners.Within this, there is a system of distribution of loads (2) which ensures the complete compression of the walls of concrete. On top of the platform is placed eu00d3lico generator (3).On the basis of the platform there is a treliu00c7a three-dimensional (4) steel which is used to connect the platform to the anchor cables (5).
