Container House Design Regulations

Container house design regulations cover multiple aspects including structural design, architectural planning, safety, environmental protection and energy conservation, supporting facilities, and other design principles. Details are as follows:

Structural Design Requirements

• Adhere to Design Standards: Strictly follow the 'Unified Standard for Reliability Design of Engineering Structures' (GB 50153) to ensure that the structural importance coefficient meets the standards within the design service life.
• Load Calculation Specifications: According to the 'Building Structural Load Code' (GB 50009), for a 25-year service life, the standard values of wind and snow loads should be taken based on a 50-year return period and multiplied by a coefficient of 0.9.
• Structural Calculation and Construction Specifications: Comply with standards such as the 'Code for Design of Steel Structures' (GB 50017), adopt a regular layout, and ensure that the lateral force-resisting members are symmetrical and the lateral stiffness is uniform.
• Box Body Panel Wall Opening and Overhanging Layout: Arrange non-perforated and perforated boxes alternately. The overhanging parts should not be too long and should not have openings.
• Structural System and Connection Nodes: The structural system should be reasonable, and the connection nodes should be easy to install. Non-load-bearing panels need to be checked and reinforced, and lightweight roofs should be arranged for load-bearing roofs.
• Inspection Standards for Existing Containers: Comply with the 'Technical Requirements for Repair of General Steel Containers' (GB/T 12418). The box body beams and columns should be free of defects, and the corner fittings should be intact and reliable.
• Steel Material Requirements: The steel for the box body structure should comply with the 'Weathering Structural Steel' (GB/T 4171). Non-box body components should use 'Carbon Structural Steel' (GB/T 700) or 'Low-Alloy High-Strength Structural Steel' (GB/T 1591).
• Corner Fitting Material and Performance: Comply with the 'Series 1 Container Corner Fittings' (GB/T 1835). The design values of tensile, compressive, and flexural strength are 180N/mm², and the design value of shear strength is 105N/mm².

Architectural Planning and Design Requirements

• Planning Permission: Comply with local urban planning and land use planning, obtain planning permission, submit design plans, and have them approved.
• Design Rationality: Consider structural stability, spatial layout, ventilation, and lighting to ensure居住 comfort (living comfort) and safety.

Building Safety and Structural Requirements

• Structural Safety: Meet building safety standards, withstand wind and snow loads, etc. Conduct structural calculations and reinforcement designs if necessary.
• Fire Prevention and Disaster Mitigation: Comply with fire prevention codes, use fire-resistant materials, install fire protection facilities, and consider the prevention of natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Environmental Protection and Energy Conservation Requirements

• Environmental Protection Requirements: Reduce the impact on the environment, use environmentally friendly materials, and properly handle construction waste.
• Energy Conservation Design: Use thermal insulation materials, energy-saving lamps, solar water heaters, etc. to reduce energy consumption.

Supporting Facilities and Living Condition Requirements

• Infrastructure: Equip with water, electricity, gas, communication, etc. to meet basic living needs.
• Living Environment: Have good greening, roads, parking, and other public facilities as well as community service facilities around.

Other Design Principles

• Maintain the Integrity of the Main Structure of the Container: The modification should not damage the load-bearing components.
• Focus on Efficient Space Utilization: The internal space is limited and requires careful layout.
• Consider Building Physical Performance: Meet basic requirements such as thermal insulation, sound insulation, and ventilation.
