Design Of Amphibious Structure

Abstract

Amphibious structures, also known as floating or flood-resistant structures, have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the devastating impacts of flooding in low-lying and flood-prone regions. This abstract presents an overview of the design considerations and strategies employed in the development of amphibious structures, focusing on enhancing resilience and minimizing damage during flood events. The design of amphibious structures encompasses several key aspects. First, the foundation is designed to provide stability and buoyancy. Various techniques such as elevated platforms, stilts, or buoyant materials are utilized to elevate the living space above the flood level while allowing the structure to rise and fall with changing water levels. This design approach minimizes structural damage, reduces flood risk, and protects occupants and belongings.
