MEGA-FLOAT WORKSHOP Thursday, April 17, 14:00-17:00, Room 302
Chairman: Prot. H. Maeda University of Tokyo, JAPAN
Co-Chairman: Dr. M. Okada, Technologioal Reserch Association of Mega-Float, JAPAN
In order to realize a very large floating structure (VLFS) such as the Mega-Float and make it practical use, there are many unsolved issues left on concept, design. production, installation, maintenance, repair, inspection, and environmental conservation for the VLFS. The Mega-Float prototype model tests will give us some suggestions on the above mentioned matters. This Mega-Float workshop consists of the following lectures;
