Abstrakt: The article offers information on the construction of gravity-based structure (GBS), a massive foundation for offshore structures placed on the seabed to serve as the base. The distinct features of the offshore concrete GBS that pose challenges during analysis, design, and construction are explored. The need for concrete mixtures for GBS projects to include slag cement, fly ash, and silica fume to meet extensive demands is also tackled.
