ABSTRACT:
A method of forming an underwater structure which includes fabricating an assembly consisting of an upper deck section, a lower gravity section and an impervious member secured in water-tight fashion to the lower peripheries of the deck and gravity sections. The assembly is floated with the membrane in a folded condition to the site and lowered so that the gravity section rests on the sea or river bed. The space between the sections and the membrane is filled with water and a non-settable particulate material to form a body of such material. The particulate body is drained to enable the external water pressure to exert a confining pressure on the body to render it coherent.
