A Family of Components for the Wood Panelized Prefabricated Building System.

摘要

This report presents the design of a prefabricated, panelized wood building system capable of housing a large percentage of facilities required in the Theater of Operations. Configurations of the building structural system include 24-, 36-, and 48-ft (7.3-, 10.9-, and 14.6-m) widths and 8- and 12-ft (2.4- and 3.7-m) eave heights. Optional components include raised wood and concrete floors as well as modifications for temperate, tropical, and desert climates. This report also presents the results of a field test on a foam/wood panelized building system conducted at Fort Rucker using military personnel. The result indicates the competitiveness of the system in comparison with AFCS Facility 3403; up to 40 percent reduction in labor requirements can be reached. (Author)
