ABSTRACT:
A dock assembly wherein single or interconnected composite beam mainspans are connected to a ramp extending from shore to the first neighboring mainspan and one end of each of said mainspans is supported by a tripod structure and the other end by vertical members. The composite beam mainspans comprise deck structures in combination with pre-tensioned cables, said cables being connected to the ends of the deck structures and extending obliquely along the underside of said deck structures in spaced relationship to the mid-point of said structures. Means attaching the principal members of said assembly are provided whereby the dock assembly may be readily installed or disassembled, or optionally, after removal of the mainspans and ramp, the support structures may be rotated at their footings for underwater storage. Height of the mainspan is adjustable for mainspan leveling and adjusting mainspan height from the water surface.
