Abstract
A floating system for very deep water includes a floating structure ( ) subject to the external loadings ( ) inducing stresses, the floating structure ( ) being held in position on the sea bed by one or several tensioned lines ( ) made of a material having given mechanical properties. The tensioned line or lines ( ) are made of a material that is not very sensitive to fatigue stresses and the tensioned line or lines are sized in a manner independent of the fatigue phenomena associated with the dynamic behavior of the floating system under the effect of external loadings.
