MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION

摘要

The invention relates to a modular construction system. In particular, but not exclusively, the invention relates to a construction system, including modules (100), which are capable of being used in a wide range of applications including buildings and various other structures. Prior systems included structured modules connected by means of flexible joints which were composed of cables. These allowed relative movement between walls of various units. Such systems were complex and expensive to manufacture. An improved modular construction system overcame this problem by providing a plurality of structural elements (50) of V-shaped or chevron- shaped cross section. These are adapted to be assembled in a cellular configuration by their similar form, size and by virtue of the elements having apertures (54). Any aperture may receive a connector, which permits an amount of relative movement between said elements in two-rotational degrees of freedom.
