Container House Skeleton Drawing

The skeleton of a container house typically uses a steel structure frame, with common types including C-shaped steel frames and galvanized steel frames. Its design requires customization based on container specifications, load-bearing requirements, and architectural functions.

1. Skeleton Structure Types

The skeleton of a container house is primarily steel-structured, with common types including:

1. C-shaped Steel Frame: Often used in construction site living containers and movable panel houses, it is lightweight and easy to assemble. For example, some C-shaped steel frame container houses use cold-formed thin-walled steel, connected by bolts to form a stable structure without the need for welding, making them suitable for rapid construction of temporary buildings.
2. Galvanized Steel Frame: Enhances corrosion resistance through hot-dip galvanizing, extending service life. It is commonly used in outdoor simple integrated houses and mobile panel houses. For example, the gable-top quick-assembly container frame provided by Suzhou Jufu Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. uses galvanized steel material, has undergone in-depth factory inspection certification, and costs approximately 136 yuan per set.
3. Modular Steel Structure Frame: Suitable for multi-story or large-scale container buildings, such as two-story luxury light steel frame prefabricated houses. It enables rapid construction through standardized module combinations, meeting diverse needs such as residential and office spaces.

2. Design Considerations

1. Specification Adaptation: The skeleton design must match standard container dimensions (e.g., internal dimensions of a 20-foot container are 5898×2352×2390mm, and those of a 40-foot container are 12024×2352×2390mm) to maximize space utilization.
2. Load-Bearing Capacity: Determine load-bearing standards based on building use. For example, an international standard 20-foot container has a load capacity of 25 tons, and a 40-foot container has a load capacity of 45 tons. The skeleton must undergo structural calculations to verify its stability.
3. Combination Method: Expand space by combining containers. For example, the Triangle Garden project in Thailand uses 20-foot containers to create multifunctional spaces including public areas, storage rooms, and bedrooms, and solves tropical climate insulation issues with an A-frame roof.

3. Customization Requirements

The skeleton design must be adjusted according to specific scenarios:

• Outdoor Temporary Buildings: Prioritize lightweight and easily disassembled frames, such as adjustable movable house frames, which support 7-day replacement and 48-hour delivery.
• Long-term Residences: Strengthen structural strength and durability, such as using thickened galvanized steel plates or explosion-proof and flame-retardant materials, and ensure safety through in-depth factory inspection certification.
• Artistic Design: Achieve unique visual effects through exposed frames or decorative coverings, such as Danish container houses that retain corrugated metal interior walls to enhance industrial style.
