Sažetak
Authors propose a novel design and building concept of offshore structures designated for various purposes. Improvement in design and building solutions of surface and underwater structures including also underwater restaurants, habitats, diving chambers, gondolas, tunnels, towers, bridges, etc., is based on concept of modularization. Together with modular construction concept, possible contents, communications, building materials, exploitation locations, energy supply, wastage disposal, ventilation and air conditioning, as well as marine structures protection, safety and rescue are discussed. The main objective of this article is to present theoretical and practical results and possibilities of different space joint types implementation in mentioned structures. After introducing of new space joint types in light conventional grid structures, the authors are suggesting their implementation also in various shipbuilding areas. The main new grid structures building concept is characterized with structure lightness, simple assembly and adjusting procedures, "maintenance free" and "ecology friendly" structure characteristics, accommodation system modules with simplified on board erection possibilities, and multiple usage configurations. Analyzing various present construction solutions in offshore unit superstructures, masts, communication facilities, furniture, gangways, telescopic roofs, etc. the authors pointed out concrete proposals for new solutions regarding implementation of mentioned space joint types. Advantages with argumentation for particular topics were described and presented.
