INTRODUCTION WHY MEGA FLOAT ? WHAT DOES MEGA FLOAT CONSISTS OF FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ANALYSIS DESIGN LOAD CONSTRUCTION MATHODOLOGY EFFECT ON MEGA FLOAT CONCLUSION REFERENCES
Introduction
1.Mega-Float is very large artificial structures
floating on the sea 2.Basically two type:a. semi-submersible
Design Loads
1.Dead load 2.Hydrostatic pressure (including buoyancy) 3.Live load 4.Effects of temperature change
Step1

FINAL STRUCTURE
Earthquake Effect
1.Floating on the sea, moored to dolphin hence
does not get movement by earthquake 2.Huge structure does not touch the sea bed directly since it is fixed to seabed by piling, hence it can resist the earthquake effect
Floating and rotating hotel tower, Dubai 25 stories high floating hotel tower rotates 1 degree every minute
CONCLUSION
1.VLFS is a unique concept of ocean structures. 2.VLFS requires massive investment of resources and is considered as a mega project. 3.Technology utilized in the project must be well proven or reliable to reduce risk of investment. 4. VLFS, the reader may refer to a large body of references given in a recent literature survey paper by Watanabe et al.
