Abstract

Framework structure (70) and method for modular construction of an offshore framework structure comprising frameworks (50) with a first bar (51) functioning as a floating body, a second bar (52), with two posts (53) for substantially parallel support of the bars (51, 52) and two bands (54) for tensioning the framework (50). A connection element (55) is arranged at each end of the bars (51, 52), each of which has a single flange (56) for attaching a single bar (51, 52) to the connection element (55). In the connection elements (55), receiving areas (57) are arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction (61) of the bars (51, 52) for attaching the posts (53). Further, the connection elements (55) have securing means (58) for securing bands (54) provided with tensioning devices (60) in such a way that the framework (50) can be held in shape or diagonally tensioned by means of the tensioning devices (60). The connection elements (55) are constructed with respect to the longitudinal direction (61) of the bars (51, 52) in such a way that an extension (62) is configured on one side and a holder (66) can be arranged on the opposite side so that the extension (62) of a connection element (55) of a framework (50) can be joined with the holder (66) of another connection element (55) of a further framework (50).
