Modular Design of Floating Surface Leisure Platforms

Abstract

The development of water area tourism has prompted the upgrading of water surface platforms. Researchers have been carrying out studies, attempting to optimize the design of floating surface leisure platforms through modularization. This paper first analyzes the advantages and bottlenecks of floating leisure platform products for the development of water area tourism, and then applies modular design to optimize the ecological floating bed into a structure consisting of standardized functional components incorporated into the cavities of the floating boxes in the platform, which expands the ecological functions of the platform. This paper also optimizes the design of the modular platform components to improve the economic efficiency of product packaging and transportation, the convenience of platform building and the stability of the platform. The design provides a new idea and choice for the upgrading of floating platforms.

Purification Effect of Ecological Floating Bed with Different Planting Density on Tailing Water

“…The removal rates of TP were 89.80%, 81.20% and 70.80%, and the removal rates of COD were 54.87%, 60.43% and 56.40%, respectively . (4) In-depth study on the interaction mechanism between plant roots and inter-root microorganisms in floating beds to further explore the role of plant floating beds in the restoration of water bodies.…”

“…The plant floating bed system, a deformation of the artificial wetland system, is a promising solution that can effectively remove pollutants from sewage and promote the resourceful utilization of sewage while combining sewage treatment and utilization. Ecological floating bed system is a common technology for purifying water quality and reducing water pollutants, featuring low cost, wide applicability and convenient management and maintenance [1][2][3][4][5]. García-Ávila et al [6] used reeds and balsam fir as wetland plants and the results of their experiments showed that balsam fir had a high capacity to remove pollutants such as biochemical oxygen demand (80.69%), chemical oxygen demand (69.87%), ammoniacal nitrogen (69.69%), total phosphorus (50%), total coliforms (98.08%) and faecal coliforms (95.61%).…”

A new approach for configuring modular floating cities: assessing modular floating platforms by means of analytic hierarchy process

“…Therefore, instead of creating a VLFS, the concept of breaking down a structure into smaller modular interlocking segments allows the structure to be assembled and disassembled easily which as a result promotes faster construction and implementation (Ko 2015). Standardized modular platforms designs can offer transportable and upgradable platforms (Wang et al 2008;Dong et al 2020). Moreover, it provides great possibilities in configuring floating cities because of their ability to expand limitlessly (Kizilova 2019).…”

“…Thus, systematic research regarding configuring modular floating cities through different urban configurations highlighting their potentials and limitations is required. Previous research such as Stankovic et al (2021), Ko (2015), Drummen and Olbert (2021), Piatek (2016), Cubukcuoglu et al (2016), Endangsih and Ikaputra (2020), Chen et al (2021), Dong et al (2020), and Kizilova (2019) mainly focussed on configurations relying upon triangular, squared, pentagonal, hexagonal, crossed, or circular platform shapes when addressing modular floating cities. Moreover, such previous research assessed floating city configuration relying on one shape or a combination of them resulting in configurations with limited design capabilities and/or gaps between platforms.…”
