Methods and Devices for Modular Construction

摘要

A 3-dimensional modular construction system using only two, generally U-shaped prefabricated room size modules is used to form scalable, modular construction for schools, apartments, hotels, houses and the like. The modules may be formed of reinforced concrete. By using the above described modules, double walls within the buildings are eliminated thus, simplifying construction and reducing material and costs, while becoming a container for the pre-finishing of the spaces.

主权项

1. Manufactured components for modular building construction comprising:
an end module comprising:
a floor having a length and a first edge between first and second corners, a second edge between third and fourth corners, a width and a centerline between the first and second corners and between the third and fourth corners;an end wall having a width corresponding to the width of the floor and also having a height, the end wall integrally formed with the first edge of the floor;an interior wall having a height corresponding to the height of the end wall, the interior wall integrally formed with the second edge of the floor between the centerline and fourth corner and parallel to the end wall, the interior wall having a width equal to half of the width of the floor; and an interior module comprising:
a floor having a length and a first edge between first and second corners, a second edge between third and fourth corners, a width and a centerline equidistant between the first and second corners and equidistant between the third and fourth corners;a first interior wall having a height corresponding to the height of the end wall of the end module, the interior wall integrally formed with the first edge of the floor between the centerline and the second corner, the end wall having a width corresponding to half of the width of the floor;a second interior wall having a height corresponding to the height of the end wall of the end module, the second interior wall integrally formed with the second edge of the interior module floor between the centerline and fourth corner and parallel to the first interior wall, the second interior wall having a width equal to half of the width of the floor; and wherein a plurality of end modules and interior modules may be combined to form a 3-dimensional, scalable plurality of rooms.
