Abstract

Floating concrete structures have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential to address challenges associated with coastal and waterfront development. This research paper aims to explore the concept of floating concrete and its applications in various sectors, including infrastructure, architecture, and environmental sustainability. The paper presents an overview of the design considerations, construction techniques, and advantages of floating concrete structures. Additionally, the environmental impact and future prospects of this technology are discussed. The findings of this study highlight the potential of floating concrete as a sustainable solution for coastal and waterfront development, providing a balance between human needs and the preservation of marine ecosystems.
