| Abstract [eng] |
The purpose of this thesis work is to design and study about magnetically levitating foundation to make buildings float at times of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. Although there are different technologies that aid in the construction of earthquake or flood resistant buildings, the concept of magnetic levitation is the area of research for this dissertation. Various literature was studied, and the design methodology is outlined. The construction technology and methodology were researched, and a design was proposed. Based on the proposed design, a small-scale model building was constructed and analyzed. The model building was tested for artificially induced earthquake vibrations. The scientific principles behind the working of the Magnetic levitation was discussed and calculations of the magnetic strengths were made. |
