Abstract
In recent years, feasibility studies of floating quays are carried out frequently. In this paper, particularly, concerning with the motions of two floating bodies, the two-dimensional analysis and the experiments are carried out. The obtained results are summarized as follows; (1) The agreements between the theoretical and the experimental results of the motions of two floating bodies are fairly well. (2) The vertical and horizontal relative motions between two floating bodies vary with the spring constant of a mooring facility and the distance between quay wall and floating bodies. (3) On design of a floating quay, it is important to consider the characteristics of the motions of two floating bodies moored along the quay wall.
