Research to Realization of Submarine Hotel

This paper summarized the investigation results on the technological subjects in order to realize marine facilities constructed at the sea bottom, where human can live or work for a long period. It is important to grasp the needed technology for realization beforehand so as to expand the human activity field. The subjects to be solved obtained by evaluating the present construction technology was considered. From the results, the necessary functions and items to be researched and developed newly on the basis of scientific grounds, are reported. This technology must make it possible to built seabed natural resource development facility, seabed research facility and submarine city, etc. It can be said such a kind of building has many options and big possibility. Nowadays, necessity of research and development for the future rises needs are rising. Our own design of submarine hotel is shown using this study, and seismic response analysis was demonstrated. In consideration of Japan is earthquake country.Copyright © 2009 by ASME
