Construction of a modular building including at least one fire-resistant barrier between adjacent modules therein

摘要

There is disclosed a method of constructing a modular building which includes laterally adjacent first and second prefabricated building modules, a structural component ("the building component"), arranged adjacent to and in abutting relation with the first module, and a fire resistant barrier isolating the first module from the second module, the method including arranging the modules and the building component such that a fire-resistant wall of the first module faces the second module and so as to deform a body of material compressively between an edge of said wall and the building component, said body comprising fire-resistant material, whereby the fire-resistant barrier comprises said wall and the compressively deformed body of material.
