Design Parameters and Fluid Interaction of Amphibious Structures (original) (raw)

In recent years, rise in sea level has been one of the predominated effects of global warming caused by humans since the past century. Some of the prime cities in the world are located along coastlines can disappear in the following years to come. An increase in the frequency of floods and storms has led the cities to shut down momentarily. Many flood-resistant techniques have come up such as flood walls, high discharge sewers and IoT devices. Amphibious structures are capable building that is made to withstand floods by rising due to buoyancy in the occurrence of flood and resting in the absence of the same. In this paper, a 3-storey amphibious structure is designed taking inspiration from offshore and ship design principles. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief idea of designing amphibious structures.
