WHAT IS AMPHIBIOUS
ARCHITECTURE?
• Amphibious architecture refers to buildings that sit on dry land like
ordinary buildings, except when there is a flood, in which case they
are capable of rising and floating on the surface until the floodwater
recedes.
• A buoyancy system beneath the house displaces water to provide
flotation as needed, and a vertical guidance system allows the rising
and falling house to return to exactly the same place upon descent.
• This is a proven strategy that has already been applied successfully
in the Netherlands for twenty years and in rural Louisiana for more
than forty years.
• Amphibious construction is an adaptive flood risk reduction strategy
that works in synchrony with a flood-prone region’s natural cycles of
flooding, rather than attempting to obstruct them.

LOUISIANA
For about 40 years, amphibious houses at Old River Landing
in rural Louisiana have been rising and falling reliably with
the level of flooding of the Mississippi River.
Average cost of buoyancy system is around $5,000.

WHAT IS THE BUOYANT
FOUNDATION PROJECT?
A Buoyant Foundation is a particular type of amphibious foundation that is
specifically designed to be retrofitted to an existing house that is already
slightly elevated off the ground and supported on piers or posts.
The system consists of three basic elements: buoyancy blocks
underneath the house that provide flotation, vertical guidance posts that
prevent the house from going anywhere except straight up and down, and
a structural sub-frame that ties everything together.
Buoyant Foundations as currently designed are not intended for coastal
regions subject to storm-surge inundation that includes wave action, or for
high velocity flows.
They are best suited to large, flat floodplain areas, to regions that are
protected by levees where flooding is due to overtopping, to coastal
regions well-protected by barrier islands or peninsulas, and to similar
flood situations where the water is primarily rising rather than fast-flowing.
IT’S NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION!

BUOYANT FOUNDATIONS
CREATE HOMES THAT FLOAT IN A FLOOD
Advantages
• Temporarily elevates house to exactly the height required to stay above water (no higher than necessary)
• House otherwise remains close to the ground
• More convenient for the elderly and disabled
• Accommodates both soil subsidence and rising sea level
• House looks essentially the same as before
• Preserves traditional architecture and neighborhood character
• Simple technology – easy enough for people to learn to do it themselves
• Inexpensive – amphibious retrofit is less than half the cost of permanent static elevation

A CASE STUDY IN LEEVILLE
![Page 46: Flood Risk Reduction in Historic Neighborhoods: A Visually ...A Buoyant Foundation is a particular type of amphibious foundation that is specifically designed to be retrofitted to](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e8954f0ebea497cc20d763c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

LOSSES AVOIDED RATIO
The Losses Avoided Ratio is the ratio of the calculated Losses Avoided to the
calculated Mitigation Cost.
Losses Avoided = Costs of building repair + contents damage + displacement
Losses Avoided Ratio = Losses Avoided / Mitigation Cost
The losses avoided ratio for a pre-mitigation flood depth of 0.5m
= $38,930 / $30,280
= 1.28
The losses avoided ratio for a pre-mitigation flood depth of 1m
= $62,430 / $30,280
= 2.06
The losses avoided ratio for a pre-mitigation flood depth of 1.5m
= $78,021 / $30,280
= 2.58
A ratio greater than one indicates that applying the mitigation strategy to the
house in question is expected to be beneficial or that it has performed successfully.

PERMANENT STATIC ELEVATION AND INCREASED WIND VULNERABILITY
![Page 49: Flood Risk Reduction in Historic Neighborhoods: A Visually ...A Buoyant Foundation is a particular type of amphibious foundation that is specifically designed to be retrofitted to](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e8954f0ebea497cc20d763c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Permanent Static Elevation for Houses
Especially after Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the US Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has required many
homeowners in flood-prone areas to elevate their houses in order
to retain their eligibility for subsidized flood insurance policies from
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
NFIP is critically important in the US housing market because banks require flood insurance as a precondition for providing mortgages to homes in flood zones.
![Page 50: Flood Risk Reduction in Historic Neighborhoods: A Visually ...A Buoyant Foundation is a particular type of amphibious foundation that is specifically designed to be retrofitted to](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e8954f0ebea497cc20d763c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Homes may be exposed to significantly higher wind speeds when elevated.
PERMANENT STATIC ELEVATION AND INCREASED WIND VULNERABILITY
![Page 51: Flood Risk Reduction in Historic Neighborhoods: A Visually ...A Buoyant Foundation is a particular type of amphibious foundation that is specifically designed to be retrofitted to](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e8954f0ebea497cc20d763c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Disadvantages of Permanent Static
Elevation
• Difficult access – especially for the elderly & disabled
• Very expensive
• Creates gap-toothed effect in a neighborhood
• Homes lose close relationship to the street
(with loss of neighborhood character in an urban setting)
• Provides insufficient protection from extreme flooding
• Increases the home’s vulnerability to wind damage
![Page 52: Flood Risk Reduction in Historic Neighborhoods: A Visually ...A Buoyant Foundation is a particular type of amphibious foundation that is specifically designed to be retrofitted to](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042109/5e8954f0ebea497cc20d763c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Case Study – preliminary analysis
House with a 4 meter mean roof height elevated to a 10 meter mean roof height:
Case Study Roof Mean Height EAL (%)
Current scenario 4 m 2.8%
Elevated scenario 10 m 4.9%
Increase in roof height wind speed: 11%
Increase in wind pressure: 19%
Increase in expected annual loss (EAL): 75%
This effect becomes more pronounced the
higher the structure is raised above the
ground.
