TMA 38/1 Usishkin Tel Aviv

An existing building based on slabs on top of thick clay near the groundwater level (contrary to the standards and construction methods used today).

The challenge:

Creating a stable structure that resists cracking. The common method is to make deep piles in groundwater at a high cost. This is compared to a creative solution by a barge.

​

The solution:

The stiffening of the structure by tying all the elements of the structure in a barge to force a uniform behavior.
