Abstract
The floating foundation supporting framework according to the invention for offshore structures comprises a plurality of buoyancy elements which are arranged on the outside of a bar-type supporting framework which, in turn, is connected to ballast elements via cables (8, 9, 10). This design results in a simple construction and low construction costs.
Claims11
A floating foundation supporting framework (4) for offshore structures, comprising buoyancy elements (28, 29, 30) and a supporting framework (11, 12, 13, 14), wherein the supporting framework (11, 12, 13, 14) comprises a combination of a shell supporting framework and a bar framework, including cantilevers (11, 12, 13), the cantilevers (11, 12, 13) comprise spatial trussed frameworks with rods that extend radially outward from a central spatial trussed structure (14), the buoyancy elements (28, 29, 30) are at least partially made of concrete, and the supporting framework (11, 12, 13, 14) is made of steel, and wherein a hydraulic adjustment arrangement for active leveling of a floating foundation is positioned in the buoyancy elements (28, 29, 30).
