Huaian Container House Design

The design of container houses in Huaian takes modularity as its core, integrating flexibility and practicality to meet the needs of different scenarios through standardized structures, diverse materials, and functional adaptations. The key design points are as follows:

1. Structural System: Modularity and Demountability
The main frame is made of galvanized or cold-formed steel (such as C-shaped steel and rectangular tubes) with a wall thickness of 1.5-3.0mm, ensuring structural rigidity and stability. Columns and beams are spliced with bolts or special connectors (such as L-shaped and T-shaped pieces), with a theoretical turnover frequency of 10-15 times, facilitating rapid disassembly and reuse. A single container module can be used independently or spliced horizontally or vertically to form a composite space, adapting to diverse needs such as residential, commercial, or temporary facilities.

2. Enclosure System: Material Performance and Scenario Adaptation

• Walls and Roofs: Metal-faced sandwich panels are commonly used, with core materials including polyurethane (best for thermal insulation), rock wool (Class A fire resistance), and EPS foam (low cost but poor fire resistance, now restricted). The panel thickness of 50-100mm directly affects the thermal insulation effect.
• Floor System: The base uses a hot-dip galvanized steel frame + cement fiberboard or bamboo plywood, with high-end products using fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) floor panels for both waterproofing and corrosion resistance.
• Surface Treatment: The steel frame undergoes pickling, phosphating, hot-dip galvanizing, or anti-rust paint spraying; the sandwich panel faces are made of color-coated steel plates, with the coating process (such as polyester, fluorocarbon) determining weather resistance.

3. Functional Zoning: Flexible Layout and Interior Decoration
Spaces are divided according to usage: residential scenarios can be designed as standalone houses or homestay clusters, while commercial scenarios can be transformed into shops or pop-up stores. Interior decoration includes laying floors, installing doors and windows, configuring water and electricity systems, and thermal insulation layers, with high-end projects using large glass facades to enhance the sense of openness. Interior partitions can be flexibly adjusted to meet temporary office, storage, or accommodation needs.

4. Performance Standards: Safety and Durability

• Wind Resistance: Capable of withstanding winds of 8-10 levels (in compliance with GB 50009 standards);
• Earthquake Resistance: The light steel structure meets the requirements for an 8-degree seismic fortification intensity;
• Fire Rating: Rock wool sandwich panels achieve Class A fire resistance, while polyurethane panels are rated B1/B2;
• Service Life: The steel frame is designed for a service life of 15-20 years, with the enclosure system requiring regular maintenance.

5. Application Scenarios: Residential and Commercial Innovation

• Residential Applications: Standalone houses or homestays are built in suburban or rural areas, equipped with efficient thermal insulation systems to adapt to Huaian's climate (heat insulation in summer and thermal insulation in winter).
• Commercial Applications: Industrial-style container shops are used in cultural and creative parks to attract customers, while temporary markets or exhibitions use movable facilities (such as service centers and security booths) for flexible deployment.

6. Construction Process: Standardization and Maintenance Points
The design phase requires clarification of spatial layout and equipment locations; structural modifications include cutting and reinforcement, creating openings for doors and windows, and waterproofing treatment; on-site installation requires ensuring a foundation flatness error of ≤±5mm, with containers connected via preset corner fittings and bolts, and installation of waterproof components. During maintenance, regular checks of structural connections, waterproof layers, and external coatings are necessary to avoid overloading.
