Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Urban development presents significant challenges in managing stormwater, particularly in high-rise buildings where traditional stormwater management techniques may be limited. This thesis focuses on the analysis and design of sustainable low-impact development techniques for urban stormwater management in high-rise buildings. The study aims to address the growing concerns of urban stormwater runoff and its impact on the environment by proposing innovative and sustainable solutions tailored to the unique characteristics of high-rise buildings. The introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the problem statement, research objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the structure of the thesis. The background of the study highlights the current state of stormwater management practices and the need for sustainable solutions in high-rise urban settings. The literature review explores ten key themes related to urban stormwater management, low-impact development techniques, and sustainable design principles. The research methodology section outlines the approach taken to analyze and design sustainable stormwater management techniques for high-rise buildings. This includes data collection methods, modeling techniques, and design considerations. The discussion of findings in Chapter Four presents a detailed analysis of the proposed sustainable low-impact development techniques, their feasibility, and potential benefits in urban stormwater management for high-rise buildings. The conclusion and summary chapter highlight the key findings of the study and their implications for future research and practice in urban stormwater management. The thesis contributes to the field of civil engineering by offering innovative solutions to address the challenges of stormwater runoff in high-rise urban environments, promoting sustainability, and enhancing the resilience of urban infrastructure. Overall, this thesis provides a comprehensive analysis and design framework for sustainable low-impact development techniques tailored to urban stormwater management in high-rise buildings. It emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainable design principles with innovative engineering solutions to create more resilient and environmentally friendly urban environments.
