Abstract (en)

The disclosure relates to a method for releasable assembly of at least two floating bodies (2) by bringing together the floating bodies (2) and arranging in vertical direction at least one member (4,14) connecting the floating bodies (2). The connection formed by the member (4,14) arranged in vertical direction can herein then be tensioned, for instance by urging apart the floating bodies (2). The disclosure also relates to an assembly of floating bodies (2) formed by applying this method, provided with at least two floating bodies (2) and at least one member (4,14) connecting the floating bodies (2) and connected thereto in vertical direction. Each floating body can have one or more vertically directed openings (13) for receiving the connecting member (4,14), and the or each connecting member can comprise a bridge piece (11) and at least two pins (12) protruding therefrom. The assembly can be further provided with means for tensioning the connection formed by the or each connecting member (4,14), for instance in the form of one or more wedge-shaped pressure members (5,8) arranged between the floating bodies (2). <IMAGE>
