Study on the Evaluation of Low-Cost Floating House

Abstract

The paper presents a layout of a relatively inexpensive floating house requisite for people relying in coastal areas. The floating house would have the maximum capacity of family members' loads with qualified freeboard of 30 percent along with the body of the accompanying airtight empty steel drums in water with a planned floor space. The metacentric height of the planned house is thought to have a positive meaning. Expenses of extracted data materials such as carpeting, walls, new roof, and floats are recommended to determine a most cost-effective and long-lasting solution.
