Characteristics And Classification Of Housing Containers

At present, housing containers have become a new container market. Housing containers have the characteristics of fast transportation and have the advantages of being used alone or in combination. They can not only be used as small houses, toilets, kitchens, laundry rooms, small meeting rooms, office spaces, small supermarkets, etc., but also can be used as relatively large meeting rooms, villa-style residences, hospitals, hotels, office buildings, etc. through combined design and assembly; in addition, housing containers can also be widely used in temporary activity places, such as oil fields and mines, battlefields, and areas with damaged houses after disasters.
Generally speaking, the use of housing containers is highly temporary. In layman's terms, container houses built by housing containers are steel structure houses similar to container forms, also known as box buildings. The main structure and interior and exterior decoration of the container house, including internal water and electricity installation, functional area division and room supporting facilities (such as color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, bathing equipment, sanitary and furniture, etc.), are all completed in the factory. The works completed on the construction site include the installation of the house container on the prefabricated base, water and electricity connection and some improvement processes, the installation and power connection of the distribution cabinet in the room, the connection of the house water inlet with the outdoor water source network, and the connection of the house sewage outlet with the outdoor sewage network.
The construction of the house container has the characteristics of industrialized production, reflecting the characteristics of fast, changeable, simple and efficient construction; it adopts non-masonry structure, the overall mass is light, and the steel structure is connected by nodes. The ductility and activity of the structure make it have strong seismic resistance; it has an integral bottom structure, which is convenient for setting dampers. Under the action of the dampers, its seismic resistance effect is more obvious.
Advantages of container houses:
(1) Generally, steel structure is the main structure, supplemented by wood structure;
(2) The structure is connected by welding or bolts, and its reliability can be guaranteed through process inspection or post-completion testing;
(3) The box body has an insulation layer, which has obvious heat insulation effect. The houses built with it have better insulation performance than traditional masonry houses;
(4) The doors and windows of the houses built with it have strong reliability, safety and flexibility, and are more personalized;
(5) Its interior decoration and decoration adopt industrial standards to improve safety and reliability;
(6) The water and electricity design and installation meet the installation regulations and standards of the area of ​​use;
(7) It has a certain ability to resist wind, earthquake and snow disasters, which can be verified by impact tests;
(8) The fire protection design is more reasonable;
(9) The area utilization rate is high, and the wall thickness of the house built with it is less than the wall thickness of the masonry structure house (generally 240mm);
(10) The total mass of the house built with it is lower than that of ordinary buildings, and the pressure on the foundation is relatively small. Relevant supervisory agencies can track and inspect the construction process of house containers, including supervision and management of procurement projects, evaluation, review and selection of manufacturers, design review, typhoon prevention calculation review, inspection and certification of raw materials and components, production process quality control, circuit and water pressure testing before leaving the factory, control of production progress and delivery date, and pre-delivery inspection, etc. In short, the entire process of house container construction should be carried out under the supervision of a third party to ensure its quality.
