Structural Drawings of Container House
Admin September 17, 2026
The structural drawings of a two-story container house include various key drawings and detailed information on structural materials.

I. Key Drawing Types
- Floor Plans: These include layout drawings for each floor, specifying functional zoning of rooms, furniture placement, and space utilization. For example, the first floor may be planned as a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, while the second floor serves as bedrooms and a study. The layout drawings provide a clear view of the dimensions and relative positions of each area, ensuring a reasonable spatial layout that meets living or usage requirements.
- Elevation Drawings: These show the exterior appearance of different facades of the house, including wall decoration materials, door and window positions, and styles. For instance, the front elevation drawing will display the arrangement of the entrance door and windows, while the side elevation drawing shows the height of the house and its relationship with the surrounding environment, helping to understand the overall shape of the house and its coordination with the external environment.
- Section Drawings: These present cross-sections of the house's internal structure, clearly showing the arrangement and connection methods of columns and top and bottom keels. Through section drawings, one can see the vertical structural system of the house and understand the support structure between floors, ensuring the structural stability and safety of the house.
II. Specific Structures and Material Specifications
- Column Specifications: Columns are typically made of high-strength steel, such as Q345B steel, which has good strength and toughness. The dimensions of columns are determined based on the height of the house and load requirements. Common specifications include 200mm×200mm×8mm (length×width×wall thickness), ensuring they can withstand the vertical and horizontal loads (such as wind loads and earthquake loads) of a two-story house.
- Top and Bottom Keel Arrangement: Top and bottom keels are important parts of the house's frame, generally made of C-shaped steel or H-shaped steel. The arrangement of top keels needs to consider roof slope and waterproofing requirements, while the arrangement of bottom keels should ensure floor flatness and load-bearing capacity. For example, the spacing between bottom keels may be 600mm, and they are connected to the foundation with bolts to enhance the overall stability of the house.
- Wall Panels and Door/Window Openings: Wall panels are commonly made of rock wool sandwich panels, which have good thermal insulation, heat insulation, and fire resistance properties, with a thickness generally ranging from 50mm to 100mm. The dimensions of door and window openings are determined according to design requirements. For example, the width of window openings may range from 1200mm to 1800mm, and the height from 1500mm to 2100mm, ensuring adequate ventilation and lighting effects.
