Modular construction system

Abstract

The invention relates to a modular construction system comprising a system in which the carcass results from the juxtaposition and / or stacking assembly of a plurality of prefabricated units (1), each of said units (1) including a framework made up of the juxtaposition in coaxial alignment of multiple elements forming a frame (2), spaced two-by-two and assembled by means of bottom girders (30) and top girders (31). The top or bottom girders (30, 31, 34) of each units run along the outside of the frames (2), and each of said girders (30, 31) is designed to be securable to the equivalent girder (30, 31) of a juxtaposed unit (1); while each of the top girders (31) is designed to be capable of being shared by two stacked units (1) and of forming a bottom girder thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](1) Field of the Invention[0002]The object of this invention, in the field of building construction, is a modular construction system in which the carcass consists of several prefabricated units assembled in juxtaposition and / or in superposition.[0003](2) Description of the Prior Art[0004]There are already construction systems consisting in assembling prefabricated units of various shapes, mostly cubic or parallelepipedal, deriving from the assembling of reinforced concrete walls. Besides the transportation difficulties, the weight and size of these units, as well as the implementation problems, these constructions have questionable esthetics.[0005]There are also construction systems consisting in assembling modules having a parallelepipedal shape, by superposing them and / or by juxtaposing them. This is, for example, the case with the modules described in GB 2 334 045, which each consist of a framework made of a steel trellis composing all walls of t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]The object of this invention is to provide a prefabricated construction system permitting a fast and easy construction of a building, which favors the utilization of wood, a very economical material which is also efficient as far as insulation is concerned, and which permits to cope with the various disadvantages mentioned above.

[0009]Thus, because of the assembling characteristics of the various units to each other, there is no space between two superposed and / or juxtaposed units, so that there is no risk of creating heat bridges.

Problems solved by technology

Besides the transportation difficulties, the weight and size of these units, as well as the implementation problems, these constructions have questionable esthetics.

Besides the problems that such a module can generate when it is used as a permanent or temporary residence are not easy, because of its characteristics of a metal cage, its implementation and its transportation.

The disadvantage of this concept resides in that the devices for linking the modules to each other incorporate means for absorbing vibrations, which require to leave a considerable space between the modules, spaces that are capable of constituting heat bridges.
