Project Background:
The construction of offshore structures used for energy development, fishery and tourism can expand the space and promote ocean economic development. The traditional way to transfer sea to land is land reclamation, but it causes huge damage for the local environment. Compared to onshore construction, offshore construction faces many disadvantages: harsh corrosion environment, complex loading condition, and limited maintenance capacity. Therefore it is necessary to develop new offshore structures with new materials, such as FRP composites.

Aims & Goals:
1. To design a new concrete floating platform for the marine environment;
2. To establish a prediction model for CFRP stress corrosion;
3. To propose a design method for CFRP prestressed concrete assembled raft-type floating structures;
4. To promote the use of petroleum-based materials in marine structure and large-scale offshore infrastructure construction.

Outcomes: 
PATENT 1: Raft-type Platform with Photovoltaic and Wave Power Generation System (filed)
