Floating Structure Calculator

Whether a floating home, pavilion, dock or pontoon deck will float level, stay upright and carry its load. Pick a float shape, enter its dimensions, and it works through the four questions that decide a floating design.

Buoyancy and the draft the structure floats at.
Stability, from the height of the metacentre above the centre of gravity.
How much payload the floats can carry.
Float sizing for rectangular, circular, elliptical, hexagonal or twin pontoon shapes.
Follows: Principles of Naval Architecture (Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers); Rawson and Tupper, Basic Ship Theory; International Maritime Organization 2008 Intact Stability Code; ASCE Manual of Practice 50, small craft harbors and floating docks.
Waves, wind, mooring and the water body itself need a site-specific engineering check before a floating structure is built.
