Geodesic dome tent: internal view The dome shape is formed from a modular, geodesic loadbearing structure made up of equilateral triangles. Geodesic dome tent: loadbearing structure Detail of the ultra-lightweight strut structure, which relies on the space-grid action of its members. Container systems used as site facilities The modular construction of container systems is plain to see, for example, in the site facilities for the new Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg. Transporting containers as flat packs Containers can be folded down into a space-saving flat pack to avoid having to transport empty space.
Design of a container module Container systems closely follow the principles of lightweight construction. The design is derived from the construction of shipping containers and motor vehicles. Flexible modular systems tions by exposed diagonal bracing. The costs of a 1. Design The modules are built on a standard, self-supporting, basic steelframe structure The steel frame is made up of a floor panel, four corner supports and a roof panel The floor panel consists of a cement screed subfloor cast on a trapezoidal profiled steel sheet soffit, which is welded into a rectangular steel frame.
The roof panel is similarly constructed, but with a weather-resistant bitumen sheet waterproofing membrane and an internally piped rainwater drainage system.
Every module has a roof, even though the module may end up hidden within the heart of the building. The roof is necessary to provide weather protection during temporary outdoor storage before the modules are transported to the site. Preused containers were recycled for the tower structure. Lightweight construction must also be used here, on the same principle as the basic structure. Gypsum plasterboard is used for the internal walls. Components such as stairs and lifts are installed conventionally on site to complete the building The module dimensions were chosen to allow.
Design of modules The modules are built on a standard basic structure, which consists of a self-supporting steel frame construction.
Unlike flat-pack systems, where the walls can be transported in a compact package along with the roof panels, the modules in this system can only be transported in the completed state. However, within the limits imposed by the module and the lightweight construction principle, there is still room for customisation.
The innovation of this system lies in the manufacture of. Construction of modules The steel frame is made up of a floor panel, four corner supports and a roof panel. Modular building Components such as stairs and lifts are installed conventionally on site to complete the building.
The attention to detail and complexity of the system is remarkable. The idea of creating a building system capable of being. Gobaplan structural system At the heart of the building system is a structural steel skeleton made from I-sections and precast concrete floor elements. Goldbeck showroom with building models Various versions of building models are on show as marketing aids.
Office building for the municipal energy and water company, Buchs, Switzerland, Ballmoos Krucker Architekten, The topographical integration of the building and its architectural grace can be attributed to architectplanned prefabrication.
Industrial buildings using precast concrete units Industrial buildings cannot be considered as system buildings to. Natural stone masonry Simple system of elements: natural stone masonry, constructed without mortar, is a complete system consisting of only one type of element. Conservatorium van Amsterdam, de Architekten Cie. Modules are assembled from elements. Creating modules, such as a floor structure, involves assembling individual elements, such as floor beams, boards, insulation, ceiling soffit and.
The same applies to roof structures, which are made out of structural members, insulation, roofing membrane and roof covering. Holiday development, Burgh-Haamstede, the Netherlands, Precasting a floor slab with edge formwork, reinforcement and in-situ concrete.
Holiday development, Burgh-Haamstede Precast concrete units for walls and ceilings are a good example of large-format modular construction. Holiday development, Burgh-Haamstede Creation of the wall module with the precast concrete, insulation and masonry cladding elements.
Modules such as windows are installed as the wall is being built in this form of construction. Holiday development, Burgh-Haamstede Detailed section of the wall construction with the precast concrete unit elements as loadbearing wall, insulation and masonry as the external skin, and the window module.
Spacebox, student accommodation, Delft, the Netherlands, Spacebox units are manufactured and supplied as complete units by Holland Composite. Mobile Home, USA The maximum dimensions of the building are determined by its ability to be transported by road. The units are connected together on site.

The components such as Precast concrete large panels for walls, walls floors, roofs, balconies, staircase, etc. The casting of the components could be at the site or off the site. This system is suitable for low rise buildings.
The flights are normally unidirectional transferringg the loads to supporting pp g landingg slabs or load bearing walls. Walls are jointed to make rigid connections among themselves. The box unit rests on the plinth foundation which may be of conventional type or precast type. JOINTS y The joints should be provided in the light of their assessment with respect to the following considerations: y Feasibility -The feasibility of joint shall be determined by its loads- carrying capacity in the particular situation in which the joints is to function.
