Abstract
    This paper presents a methodology to minimize the weight of the gate by optimizing simultaneously the height of the floating tanks, the number of their watertight partitions and the gate scantling while considering the floating stability (Richir et al. 2006).
    The rolling gate, considered for this lock, has to float to be led into the port for maintenance or repairing operations. Two partitioned floating tanks are used inside the gate. Water ballast can be pumped from the floating tanks to float the structure or to restore the mass equilibrium in case of damage due to boat impact.
