Design Criteria for the Floating Walkways and Pontoons Considering the Extreme Climatic Conditions

Abstract

The study has addressed design criteria about how the industry of the floating reinforcement concrete precast (pontoons) is installed in the factory with the combinations of utility, electricity services, and internet service. The pontoon bridges are successfully installed on the road for transport. The installation process for pontoons is successfully attempted in a balanced situation above the surface of the sea to the resistance of floating precast (pontoons) to any ambient effects such as weather conditions, the movement of the waves, or any other effects. This study has found new inspirations to identify the pontoon bridges of the future in spite of the fact that several new ideas are already presented by the most imaginative designers. A detailed explanation regarding the procedures of mold preparation, reinforcement, and use of expanded polystyrene, casting, and the pontoon installation is presented. The findings of the study may help engineers in providing firm considerations to the technical details of the construction process while considering the significance of extreme climatic conditions in various regions.
