Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building structure and construction technology, and relates to a house constructed by alternating and stacking profiled steel sheet box modules or frame box modules, and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional low-rise buildings mostly use masonry structures, meaning the walls are typically made of brick masonry, and the floors and roofs are made of cast-in-place reinforced concrete slabs. This masonry construction method involves a lot of on-site wet work, resulting in slow construction speed and easily causing material waste and environmental pollution. In addition, prefabricated concrete structures are also widely used in urban residential buildings, which can solve a series of problems with traditional construction techniques. However, the construction of prefabricated concrete structures is complicated and the construction cost is high.
[0003] In summary, to address the problems associated with traditional construction techniques and existing prefabricated construction techniques used in low-rise and multi-story buildings, and to improve the construction methods for these buildings, it is necessary to propose effective construction technology solutions that are structurally sound, easy to construct, and cost-effective for low-rise and multi-story buildings.

[0006] The multi-layered spatial structure system includes multiple steel modules stacked in an alternating manner, with each layer increasing by one steel module from top to bottom, thereby forming two rectangular cross-section spaces that increase in size from top to bottom.
[0007] The multi-layered spatial structure system includes triangular cross-sectional spaces formed between the steel formwork on both sides and the roof slab, and between the top steel formwork and the roof slab above.
[0008] The staggered stacking method is that the bottom sides of the steel modules are stacked on the top of each side of the two steel modules respectively, and the width of the stacking is at least the thickness of the side wall of the steel module or the cross-sectional width of the beam.
[0009] The upper and lower steel modules, which are stacked in an alternating manner, can be welded and fixed together using steel bars or structural steel connecting elements as needed. Alternatively, they can be welded or bolted together using components between the upper and lower steel modules.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, the house is a steel six-box stacked building, that is, the multi-layer spatial structure system includes a top layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer, each including one, two and three steel modules, thereby forming a three-layer spatial system with a total of nine rectangular cross sections.
[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the roof panels of the steel six-box stacked building extend downwards to the building foundation on both sides of the building, thereby forming an isosceles triangular building facade configuration; or, the roof panels of the steel six-box stacked building extend downwards to the top of the bottom steel modules on both sides of the building, thereby forming a building facade configuration comprising a combination of isosceles triangles of the top and middle layers and rectangles of the bottom layer.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the building foundation may be a foundation formed by concrete foundations, concrete piles and concrete beams, or a steel foundation formed by steel bolts and steel beams.
[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, the building further includes rectangular or triangular wall panels, doors, windows or curtain walls provided on the front and rear facades at the steel module-free sections.
[0018] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for constructing a house with alternating stacked profiled steel sheet box modules or framed steel modules, comprising the following steps:
[0019] (1) Prepare profiled steel sheet box steel modules or frame box steel modules, as well as foundation beam components and concrete pile components;

[0023] (5) Step (4) can be repeated as needed to form a multi-layered spatial system;
[0024] (6) A roof slab is installed on the top layer of the multi-layered spatial system;
[0025] (7) Connecting and fastening elements are provided between the steel modules in the multi-layer space system;
[0026] (8) Install rectangular or triangular wall panels, doors, windows or curtain walls on the steel-free parts of the front and rear facades of the multi-layer space system;
