This memorandum proposes a mathematical approach of the interactions between a non-viscous fluid with a free surface and an assembly of structures composed of shells, whether fixed or not, partially or totally immersed in the fluid. Some fundamental aspects of the problem, such as the effects of the free surface and of the mutual influence of the structures on each other, have been developed, using widely the classical concepts of added masses, linear damping coefficients and transfer functions. In the second part, purely experimental part, some results concerning actions on structures fixed to the bottom are given.
