Steel Structure Rural Prefabricated Housing

Steel structure rural prefabricated housing is a modern livable residence that uses a steel structure system as its main load-bearing structure and adopts a prefabricated construction method, featuring rapid construction, excellent performance, and environmental protection and energy efficiency.

Construction Mode and Advantages
Steel structure rural prefabricated housing uses steel frames, steel frame-support systems, etc., as its core load-bearing structures. Core components such as walls and floors are prefabricated in factories and assembled on-site, achieving 'industrialized housing construction'. Its advantages are significant:

• Strong earthquake resistance: Mechanical connections are used at joints, with a seismic fortification intensity of up to 7 degrees, making it suitable for earthquake-prone areas.
• High construction efficiency: The main structure of a fully prefabricated rural house can be erected in about 7 days, significantly shortening the construction period.
• Green and low-carbon: The materials have a high recyclability rate (such as light steel structures), and the construction process reduces construction waste, dust, and noise pollution.
• Flexible space: There are no load-bearing walls inside, allowing for free adjustment of the layout and high space utilization.

Structural Types and Performance
In Zhejiang Province, fully prefabricated rural houses are mainly of light steel structure and concrete shear wall structure:

• Light steel structure: It uses 25-centimeter-thick reinforced concrete sandwich walls with lightweight insulation boards, providing both thermal insulation and sound insulation. The waterproofing technology follows the mature solutions used in rail transit, achieving multiple protections through sealing strips and double-layer coatings.
• Concrete shear wall structure: It is suitable for high-rise buildings or scenarios with high stiffness requirements, enhancing overall stability in coordination with steel structures.

Supporting Facilities and Environmental Protection
The houses can integrate rooftop photovoltaic systems (providing clean energy) and whole-house smart systems (enhancing living convenience). The main materials, especially light steel structures, can be disassembled and reused, aligning with the concept of a circular economy.

Application Cases and Market

• Pilot promotion: As a national pilot province for steel structure prefabricated housing, Zhejiang Province has built the first 'fully prefabricated' rural house model in Yuyao City, and demonstration communities of light steel structure rural houses have been formed in Lin'an District and other places.
• Product selection: Companies such as Foshan Huagewanshun Building Materials Co., Ltd. offer products such as assembled light steel villas and prefabricated houses, priced at about 1198 yuan per square meter, supporting customized design and disassembly for reuse.

Suitable Scenarios
Steel structure rural prefabricated housing is suitable for rural housing needs that pursue rapid construction, environmental protection and energy efficiency, and earthquake safety, especially in earthquake zones, ecologically sensitive areas, or regions requiring short-term renovation.
