Design in Modular Construction

摘要

This book provides a useful introduction to 3D volumetric modular construction, but is heavily biased towards steel volumetric components, with only moderate consideration of concrete components. There is only very limited consideration of other off-site methods, such as elemental and planar systems, and of other modern methods of construction in commonly used materials, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), structural insulated panels (SIPS) and the structural plate system (SPS). The book is well laid out with a useful introduction to the history and development of modular construction, types of steel modules, precast modules and other types of modules.
