Urbanized coastal lands are in increased flooding threat due to sea level rise and land subsidence. One flood resilient solution is floating buildings. This solution may be used frequently in the near future. A commonly heard fear on floating buildings is about discomfort from vibration caused by the buoyancy. Large vibrations can be caused when the natural frequency of a floating building pairs with external environmental frequencies. Can vibration be predicted for unrealized floating buildings? This can lead to more optimized floating building designs. This study aims to study in depth on the natural frequencies of floating buildings. Vibration theory used for floating buildings is verified by measurements. Theoretical formulas are already developed by the International Marine Organization (IMO) for ship. However, it needs to be tested 'if' and 'how' they can be applied on floating buildings. For this, measurements are made from floating buildings, as well as measurements on scaled models in laboratory settings. These measurements are compared with the theory. After the theory has been verified, calculations are done on a, yet unrealized, building and its future site to predict the vibration behavior. The result shows the theory of the boat movement is applicable to floating building behavior. And as for the vibration serviceability, it's concluded that all the external frequencies of the environment need to be considered to avoid resonant amplification. |
