FEATURES OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SEA AIRPORTS

The article examines the features and principles of design and construction of airports on the water, used in world practice. Considered the leading principles of the architecture of the sea airports, and in particular the passenger terminals. The article proves the need to improve engineering solutions in the further design of buildings of this type. This work contains a generalization of the general global trends in the design and construction of structures on artificial islands and directly the construction of the islands themselves. It is emphasized that in many countries and densely populated cities bordering the oceans or seas more and more often solve the problem of overloading air transport structures in the conditions of the impossibility of spatial expansion by putting the airfield in the water area. The construction of such airports also solves some environmental problems, for example, the effect of noise pollution on the territory of the city is canceled. A marine flat space ensures the safety of take-off and landing.
