... structure such as a transportable breakwater, silt curtain, fishing nets and so on. The characteristics of membrane and net structures are light-weight, flexible and easy to handle. The behavior of such a structures is complex because of their flexibility. It is important to predict the deformations...

.... The applicability of the mode1 is examined through laboratory experiments.. KEY WORDS: deformation, mooring force, membrane sheet, net sheet, flow INTRODUCTION Membrane and net structures are often used to construct a silt curtain, an oil boom, a swimming fence that protects people from sharks and so...

... structures but also for typical structures e.g. pontoons, floating jetties, floating breakwaters or silt curtains. The silt curtain is a temporary construction used to preventing water pollution during maritime construction. The temporary mooring anchors have to be removed when the silt curtains...
