A floatable concrete structure consisting of at least two modular units of concrete are connected together by post-tensioned cables extending longitudinally therethrough. In one method of assembly floatation units are assembled on dry land, floated in a body of water and thereafter connected by means of the tensioning cables to form a floating concrete structure. Resilient bearing pad is disposed between the abutting end faces of the modular units prior to the tensioning of the cables which connect the modular units.
