The main theme behind this journal is to open a new initiative which can be complementary and compatible with other existing production methods in order to help reduce food risk associated problems in different areas of the globe and also to prevent the evaporation of surface water from the reservoirs. Then by using this floating slab the green energy can also be harvested by installing the solar panel over them. The reservoir surface temperature will be in an optimum range so it favors the power production. These can be achieved by the floating platform which is made of materials which enables the slab to satisfy the floating condition. In recent days lot of improvement in concrete based structure has been introduced and this will be one of the master pieces among them and it will be giving shape to many innovative imaginary ideas. Numerous ideas and schemes have been promoted and many have been executed. The advantages of floating concrete structures lie in the economy of the materials used (concrete is very well suited to aquatic environment), in the fact that it is easy to make concrete structures buoyant in the construction stage as well as permanently and for towing. Buoyancy force determines whether the object floats or sinks in water. Usage of proper material at proper mix ratio allows thin sections of high-strength concrete to be obtained. Even micro concrete can be used at certain extent. The present report has been prepared with the objective of promoting floating concrete structures by illustrating their advantages, by providing a summary of the various possible applications, explanations of when, where and how these systems may be used. This development of Floating type of concrete by using lightweight aggregate (Pumice stone) and Vermiculite and few other admixtures satisfy the floating condition. By using these above mentioned materials a good compressive strength value is obtained. |
