Abstract
The present invention relates to a large floating structure used for a marine airport and the like and, more particularly, to a large floating structure in which the large floating structure itself has a wave absorbing function, whereby the need for a breakwater etc. is eliminated, and the installation of a separate wave absorbing structure at the outer periphery of the large floating structure is not needed, whereby an upper deck can be utilized effectively. For this purpose, under an extending portion on the up-wave side of the upper deck of large floating structure, for example, many box-shaped floating bodies arranged in a zigzag form and lattice-shaped connecting members are provided as a wave absorbing structure depending from the extending portion.
