Floating Roof Pontoon Shape
- Thread starter Samm17
- Start date
I think more a design issue than a service condition. If you adjust slope and depth of pontoons so buoyancy matches the weight distribution, it helps with design loading but complicates construction. With a flat bottom, you'll have a rolling moment, tending to roll the pontoons outward at the top, that must be accommodated in the design.
