PURPOSE:

- Describe the effects of floods on buildings;- Identify some of tricks that can be taken to limit damages;- Has developed the technology for the construction of buildings and amphibious floats;- Analysis of case studies.

LIMITS:

- Research does not affect the house-boat (houseboats);- The discussion is limited to analyze individual buildings without investigating their impact on an urban scale.

OBJECTIVES:

- Overview of the most common flotation systems;- Analysis of the technical elements of the building and construction of an abacus of the solutions adopted to address these needs;- Detailed technical description of a type of building, comparing two types of buildings made by competitors who use similar flotation systems .

ANPHIBIOUS LIFE

-The phenomenon of "house-boat"

Why study buildings and amphibious floats:- Climate change- The needs of peolpe are changing

EFFECTS OF FLOODING:

- Tangible damages- Intangible damages

REQUIREMENTS FLOATING BUILDINGS:

- Foundations- Envelope closure- Network plant

TECNOLOGIE FLOODPROOFING (tecnologie per la prevenzione dagli allagamenti):

1 Barriere esterne

2 Edifici impermeabili

3 Edifici in grado di far penetrare ed uscire facilmente l’acqua

4 Edifici con ingresso elevato rispetto al livello dell’acqua

5 Edifici galleggianti o anfibi

FLOATITION TECHNOLOGIES

- Prefabricated modular foundations

- Foundations assembled on the water

- Prefabricated concrete foundations
