A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Design and construction present difficult problems of stability and of resistance to wind, wave, earthquake, corrosion, and varying loads; platforms range from artificial islands to barges and are used for drilling, production of gas and oil, exploration of underwater deposits, and also for laying sewer outfall; man-made Rincon Island in California and barge mounted leg-extending Pacific Driller No. 1 are described as examples; problems of construction of various types.
