About Floating Structures
Floating structures include docks, piers, floating buildings, and other buoyant platforms that rest on water and raise/lower with water levels.
Structural engineering ensures these structures are stable, durable, and capable of supporting intended loads while withstanding environmental forces such as waves, currents, and wind.
