Experts from the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Construction Technology (KICT) have created a new technology for rapid construction of modular buildings from prefabricated components. The research was published in the official gazette Web site scientific institution.
The method involves the use of ready-made reinforced concrete blocks. Up to 80% of the elements of future structures are produced at the factory, after which all that remains is to deliver them to the construction site and assemble them in the required sequence.
Scientists say this approach reduces dust and waste, and the modules can be recycled or used in other projects, thus reducing environmental impact. Panel houses of this type are based on a U-shaped block consisting of two walls and a floor.
The assembly procedure for such buildings is as follows: first, U-shaped modules are installed, then filling modules are placed on top of them, the roof is mounted on top, then stairs are installed and corridors are installed.
Prefabricated houses with this design are expected to be used in temporary housing construction in disaster areas, hospital buildings, military bases and barracks, as well as for housing low-income citizens.
Previously in Russia built Residential building using 3D printer.
