The bucket based structure form is closely related to its floating stability characteristics. The symmetrical bucket based structure form has been applied to engineering practice. In order to enrich the form of bucket based structure and expand its application scope, the floating stability of asymmetric bucket based structure was studied. Through the laboratory test, using the similar main parameters to make a test model, the floating stability of the overall bucket based structure was observed under different positions and draughts of the model忆s upper structure, and the draught depth, closed water height, freeboard height and the air pressure distribution in the warehouse were summarized when the upper structure was eccentric, then the control conditions for floating transportation of the asymmetric bucket based structure were proposed, which provides technical support for the design and construction of asymmetric bucket based structure.
