The global warming causes the sea level rising. Several regions of the world are facing flooding problems and submersion risks. The Mekong Delta (South of Vietnam) is one of the regions in the world which is most impacted by the sea level rising. This paper presents an evaluation of the feasibility of building floating houses on the Mekong rivers. First, the analytical calculations about the stability of the floating structure are presented. The floating structure investigated includes a reinforced concrete (RC) pontoon and a 2-stories house (RC frame and infilled by bricks). The in-situ floating houses were also built and exposed for three years in real climatic conditions. The results from analytical calculations and experiments show that the floating RC structures can be a relevant solution for the Mekong Delta region.

摘要

The global warming causes the sea level rising. Several regions of the world are facing flooding problems and submersion risks. The Mekong Delta (South of Vietnam) is one of the regions in the world which is most impacted by the sea level rising. This paper presents an evaluation of the feasibility of building floating houses on the Mekong rivers. First, the analytical calculations about the stability of the floating structure are presented. The floating structure investigated includes a reinforced concrete (RC) pontoon and a 2-stories house (RC frame and infilled by bricks). The in-situ floating houses were also built and exposed for three years in real climatic conditions. The results from analytical calculations and experiments show that the floating RC structures can be a relevant solution for the Mekong Delta region.
