Floating Building Physics [EPUB ebook] 

Soporte

‘Floating Building Physics’ explores the burgeoning field of floating architecture, addressing the urgent need for resilient coastal development in the face of rising sea levels. It examines the fundamental physics governing these innovative structures, focusing on buoyancy—the principle that allows objects to float—and hydrodynamic stability, which ensures structures can withstand wave and current forces. The book uniquely bridges architectural theory with practical engineering, offering insights into how advanced materials and maritime engineering techniques are used to create habitable floating environments. The central argument emphasizes that a solid grasp of hydrodynamic principles is essential for successful floating and amphibious design, making it a vital resource for architects, engineers, and urban planners.

The book begins with the basics of buoyancy and stability, progressing to detailed analyses of various floating foundation types, such as concrete pontoons and steel structures. A key aspect of the book is its focus on wave-structure interaction, demonstrating how hydrodynamic research is applied to analyze floating building behavior under different environmental conditions. Case studies of existing floating buildings are presented, highlighting the practical implications of floating architecture for addressing climate change and urbanization. This science-based approach offers a balanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable floating development.
