Containers were originally just simple means of transportation, but when people discovered that they could also be used for living, they became obsessed with it. This low-key new building is not only low-carbon and environmentally friendly, but also exudes a unique artistic atmosphere. As long as you pass by it, you will be deeply fascinated by it~
What are the common specifications, dimensions, and load-bearing capacity of container houses?
The net space that can be used for standard container sizes is relatively cramped, the indoor height is relatively low, and the horizontal space is narrow and long. Therefore, when renovating, the box body is usually designed to be adaptively combined. Through the splicing of the box body, more types of buildings can be created, and the artistic quality unique to container buildings can be created.

From residential buildings to sports buildings suitable for large spans; from small single-box buildings to large-scale modular buildings composed of hundreds of containers, the scale varies greatly according to the needs of the actual project. It can be said that the development standard of container building design lies in the expansion of the combination method and spatial adaptation range of container buildings.

What are the container building materials?
Container materials can be divided into the following types:
1. Steel container: The advantages are strong structure, high strength, good watertightness, high weldability and low price; but it is heavy and has poor corrosion resistance. This is a relatively common material.
2. Aluminum alloy container: light weight, strong corrosion resistance, easy processing and long life; but the cost is high and it is not suitable for welding.
3. FRP container: It has high strength, good insulation and corrosion resistance, easy cleaning and simple repair; the disadvantage is that it is heavy and easy to age, which will lead to reduced strength at the bolting point.
4. Aluminum container: Because it is easy to deform, it is rare on the market and few people choose it.
5. Wood: Container houses built with wood materials have high mechanical strength, strong resistance to mechanical damage, and can withstand huge loads. And this kind of container house supported by wood can also be recycled and reused, effectively saving costs. The container house with good after-sales service does not rust and is green and environmentally friendly. When it becomes waste, it can also be used in a comprehensive way. It is easy to build and provide people with convenient and effective space.
A container is a cargo transport device that is easy to load and unload mechanically and can be used repeatedly for a long time. It is also called a "cargo box" or "cargo container".
A container used for cargo transportation should meet the following conditions:
(1) It is fully or partially closed to form a loading warehouse;
(2) It is permanent and therefore strong enough to be used repeatedly;
(3) It is specially designed to facilitate the use of one or more modes of transportation to carry goods without reloading in the middle;
(4) It is designed to be easy to load and unload, especially when moving from one mode of transportation to another;
(5) It is designed to be easy to fill and unload goods;
(6) The internal volume is one cubic meter or more.
A general dry cargo container is a six-sided cuboid, which consists of a frame structure, two side walls, an end face, a top, a bottom and a pair of doors.
Building structure
What are the requirements for ground foundation of container structure?
1. Cast-in-place concrete pavement includes unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete, which are rigid pavement structures. They have high strength, good water stability and thermal stability; smooth surface, good wear resistance, oil corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and will not show undulating deformation under strong load; long service life and low maintenance cost.
2. Ring beam: The main function of the ground ring beam is to adjust the uneven settlement that may occur, strengthen the integrity of the foundation, and make the foundation reaction force more uniform. When the geological conditions are good, the ground ring beam can be omitted, but it is better to set it up in terms of connecting the structural columns to form a complete weak frame of the ring beam structural columns and also for indoor and outdoor waterproofing.
