gravity structure : A family of deep water structures usually built of reinforced concrete, but sometimes of steel... These structures rely on gravity to keep them stable on the sea bed and unlike piled platforms are relatively mobile and need no piling to hold them in place.... A typical gravity structure consists of a cellular concrete or steel base for storage or ballast, a number of vertical columns which support a steel deck and give access to the riser, and deck accommodation... all types are towed to their final destination and settled upright on the sea by controlled ballasting. 7, record 2, English, - gravity%20structure

A thick mass or bed of fine sand(as at the mouth of a river or along a seacoast) that consists of smooth rounded grains with little tendency to mutual adherence and that is usually thoroughly saturated with water flowing upward through the voids, forming a soft, shifting, semiliquid, highly mobile mass that yields easily to pressure and tends to suck down and readily swallow heavy objects resting on or touching its surface. 2, record 9, English, - quicksand

[A] mobile jack-up platform... consists basically of a dumb barge which can raise itself out of the water on legs to well above storm wave height, and upon which is mounted a drilling rig. Some of the hulls are roughly triangular in plan and have three legs, but most are matchbox-shaped and have four or six legs... The jack-up barge is towed to location, the legs are dropped or jacked down to the sea bed, and then the hull is raised out of the water some 50 to 60 ft. 2, record 10, English, - leg

Legs [of self-elevating drilling units] may be either cylindrical or square shell type or truss type (square or triangular). Shell type legs may be designed as either stiffened or unstiffened shells. 3, record 10, English, - leg
