Design of Traditional Goan Saraswat Bunds
Traditional Goan Sarawsat Bunds (TGSB) are ancient embankments used for different purposes. They are extremely cost effective since they are built from materials available in the nearby locations. Their main feature is their bermed structure topped by double row of coconut trees on each side. Engineering design of an embankment from the view point of safety and economy of construction cost is a crucial but unavailable for traditional structures. Parametric studies need to be performed to assess the stability of a slope to the variation height of embankment. This paper presents the design methodology for building TGSB for various heights and the variation of factor of safety considering the effects of coconut tree root zone in the embankment for Goa region.
