Large-scale floating platforms for purposes such as airports (both military and civilian), manufacturing facilities, bases for hazardous waste disposal, ocean energy, etc., have been discussed in the literature for a number of years. Such large-scale floating platforms can easily be twice or three times the length of the largest ship ever built and many times wider. Many different geometries for these platforms have been discussed. On one end of the spectrum, barge-like forms which are wall-sided, shallow rectangular shapes have been proposed (this is the form of most floating bridges). On the other end of the spectrum, forms which are composed of many low-motion column stabilized oil platforms joined together have also been proposed. Each configuration has its own set of advantages and difficulties both in assembly and operation. It is a primary goal of this research to develop the technology to investigate and quantify these differences, so that the designer will have the information to choose an appropriate configuration for a particular environment.

用于诸如机场（军用和民用）、制造设施、危险废物处理基地、海洋能源等目的的大型浮动平台已经在文献中讨论了多年。这种大型浮动平台的长度很容易达到有史以来建造的最大船只的两到三倍，宽度是其数倍。讨论了这些平台的许多不同的几何形状。在这个范围的一端，类似驳船的形式是壁边的，浅矩形的形状已经被提出（这是大多数浮桥的形式）。另一方面，也提出了由许多低运动柱稳定石油平台连接在一起的形式。每种配置在装配和操作上都有自己的优点和困难。本研究的主要目标是开发调查和量化这些差异的技术，以便设计人员能够根据特定环境选择适当的配置。
