Our new report, Modular construction: From projects to products, dives deeper into the issues. In broad terms, modular construction involves producing standardized components of a structure in an off-site factory, then assembling them on-site. Terms such as "off-site construction," "prefabrication," and "modular construction" are ...

Modular construction or off-site construction involves removing some of the on-site production and instead, fabricating components of a building in a factory. Once the component is complete off site it is than shipped to the job site where it is installed in place. Some of the benefits to constructing using a modular construction technique …

Modular building components may be manufactured from a range of different materials—including steel, concrete, and wood—and can meet the requirements for Type-I, -II, -III, and -V construction. But the …

In the case of modules manufactured by CompactHabit S.L., the type of concrete used ensures its life is double than that of the H25 type concrete habitually used in traditional construction. 5. Expansion: The expansion of the iron and concrete, between 0°C and 100°C, is practically the same.

Durable Beauty. Precast modular buildings are customized to your exact needs and can be built to blend with your pre-existing building. Your building is delivered to the site pre-assembled, pre-plumbed, and pre-wired. reinforced concrete walls, floor, ceiling, and roof with the beautiful look of masonry, siding, stucco, wood shingles, or ...

Long-span steel concrete composite modular system is proposed to reduce the number of joints and columns for fast track construction. A fast and easy joining technique is developed to ensure fast ...

Different from concrete modular building, most of the steel modular case projects were designed as a system with 1) steel-framed modularized area and 2) concrete core wall as the lateral support system. In terms of the connections, most of the vertical connections used bolt and nuts (see an example in Fig. 3 right).

Current modular buildings are based on either steel or concrete modules. However, both steel and concrete modules have their own merits and shortcomings. A …

This paper presents an improved design for connections to be applied in modular concrete structures. The proposed the connection removes the onsite casting procedure, which improves the productivity in the modular construction. The installation of the connection requires only bolt connections between the two adjacent prefabricated units.
