Floating and Submerged Structures

The module addresses the design, monitoring and assessment of floating and (semi)-submerged civil engineering solutions for infrastructural and urban development applications, for instance floating bridges and moored tunnels, including control, installation, maintenance and economics. This implies that the structure should be understood as a system as a whole and the varying environmental interactions aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and soil be considered in conjunction.

The content of the module contributes to the MUDE and Ethics learning lines.

The module is assessed at the end of Q4:

- Group assignment: 60%

- Individual exam: 40%

Relation between assessment module units (weighing)

- HOS-B-1 Probabilistic Design: 20%,

- HOS-B-2 Numerical Modelling: 25%

- HOS-B-5 Floating and Submerged Structures: 55%

A successful participation in the module, requires a minimum evaluation of 5.8 for all assessments.
