Structural Diagram of Flat Container House
Currently, a detailed structural diagram of flat container houses is not directly provided, but their structural characteristics can be summarized for reference:
The structural design of flat container houses centers on modularity and standardization, integrating functionality and durability requirements to form a complete construction system. Their structural characteristics can be analyzed from the following five aspects:
1. Main Frame: Galvanized Pipe Steel Skeleton and Modular Combination
The main frame of a flat container house uses galvanized pipes as the steel skeleton, which is connected by welding or bolts to form a stable load-bearing structure. Unlike traditional iron sheet containers with a single layer of thin iron sheet and a simple frame, its steel skeleton includes room beams and vertical support columns, forming a three-dimensional force system that significantly enhances wind and earthquake resistance. Modular design allows for space expansion by cutting and splicing container units, such as connecting two standard containers side by side to form a through-living room or stacking them to achieve a double-story structure.
2. Wall Structure: Multi-layer Protection of Sandwich Insulation Panels
The walls adopt sandwich-structured insulation panels, typically composed of two layers of metal sheets (such as color-coated steel sheets) on the inside and outside, with a polyurethane or rock wool insulation layer in the middle. This structure not only provides good thermal insulation performance (with a thermal conductivity coefficient as low as 0.024W/(m·K)) but also effectively blocks noise (with a noise reduction coefficient of over 0.85). Some high-end designs further add waterproof membranes or fireproof layers to adapt to different climatic conditions.
3. Floor and Roof: Multi-layer Composites for Comfort Guarantee
The floor system usually consists of three layers: a base plate (galvanized steel sheet or moisture-proof wooden baseboard), floor covering (PVC or rubber material), and bottom cotton strips (for moisture-proofing and sound insulation), ensuring flatness and preventing condensation water penetration. The roof design includes a ceiling (gypsum board or metal sheet) and an insulation layer (polystyrene foam or glass wool). Some plans also add ventilation openings or solar panel installation slots, balancing functionality and energy-saving needs.
4. Door and Window Design: Upgraded Configuration with Double-layer Laminated Glass
The door and window systems abandon traditional single-layer glass and adopt double-layer laminated glass (usually with a thickness of 6+12A+6mm). The intermediate PVB film effectively absorbs impact energy, enhancing safety and sound insulation effects. Window frames are mostly made of broken-bridge aluminum alloy materials, combined with sealing strips, further reducing the heat transfer coefficient (U-value ≤ 1.8W/(m²·K)) and meeting energy-saving building standards.
5. Space Combination: Flexible Adaptation of Functional Zoning
Through the cutting and splicing of container modules, the interior space can achieve diverse layouts. For example, a raised living room is formed by removing part of the floor to create a double-height space; a through-living and dining room is achieved by removing partition walls for an open and flowing layout. Functional zoning is consistent with traditional houses, including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc., and is flexibly divided by lightweight partitions or furniture.
If specific drawings are required, it is recommended to refer to the "Container House Design Manual" or contact professional suppliers for customized solutions. The latter can provide structural calculation sheets and 3D models based on site conditions and usage requirements to ensure safety and compliance.
