Proposal of ocean city projects

Softsit-on-bottom type offshore structure has been considered as one of the safest offshore structure systems against earthquake and settlement of ground. This system was developed in 1980 by the outhors and has been proposed for such purposes since then. In this paper, the structural charaeters of this structure system is described according to three casestudies of ocean city projects-Campus City in the Tokyo bay, Osaka bay marinecity and Makuhari messe island Project.
