This paper presents a new concept of modular houses which fulfils the actual requirements of modern construction as optimal insulation, acoustic performance, environmental aspects and modern architecture. A recent literature review (Ferdous et al. in Eng Struct 183:883–893, 2019), shows that modular buildings refer not to a single structure type, but a variety of structural systems or components (1D, 2D, and full volumetric or 3D) and materials (mainly, wood, steel and concrete). In our approach of modular constructions, Prefabricated Finished Volumetric Concrete Construction (PFVCC) was preferred. Then modular houses based on this concept were studied and recently prototypes built. This allows to characterize their mechanical efficiency, to monitor their energy saving, and to qualify all the construction process, including their future deconstruction and reconstruction. |
