Quasi-Sierpinski Structure for Uniform Load Distribution
Abstract
Land reclamation methods, indispensable for the proper development of modern coastal cities, are ecologically destructive. We present a fractal structure, similar to a Sierpinski triangle, which solves this problem by resting directly on the seabed thanks to the uniform load distribution we achieve on its base. To obtain this uniform distribution, we show that the supports of the structure must displace vertically following any function of the Takagi class. This causes the vertical deformations of the structure to follow this same class and the horizontal deformations to be related to the Cantor function. The structure works with an unlimited number of combinations of areas of its elements and materials, which gives designers a high degree of constructive flexibility.
