Introduction to the world of very large floating structures (VLFS) that have been gradually appearing in the waters is largely due to a severe shortage of land and the skyrocketing land costs in recent times. VLFS provide an exciting and environmentally friendly solution for land creation from the sea as opposed to the traditional land reclamation method. Its application are mainly for construction of floating bridges, floating fuel storage facilities, floating airports, floating piers and docks, floating hotels floating stadia, and even floating cities have triggered extensive research studies in the past three decades.
