Module design of container architecture

ABSTRACT:   Container architecture, derived from freight containers, has an increasingly important position in the field of temporary buildings. With its modular and detachable structure, this newly emerging type of architecture shows a great development potential. However, container architecture has been confined to the absence of corresponding codes and technical modifications. In this article, a hockey rink in Huijia High School was taken as an example to illustrate a modification technology of container architecture, in which standard containers were displaced by redesigned modular units. Simplified models for engineering application were built through 3D3S in order to analyze the bearing capacity under vertical loads.
