What is the difference between a Container house and a steel structure house
What is a container house?
Container houses are containerized mobile homes, container homes, and box houses. It has windows, doors, and complete indoor facilities, and is commonly used in civilian dormitories, outdoor construction projects, and some daily buildings in life. This type of house usually has two production processes; one is directly converted from shipping containers; the other is in the production factory through the structural design by the size of the container, making a good top and bottom, through the columns with a high-quality load-bearing capacity of the top and bottom of the connection, the formation of the framework, and then by the color steel sandwich panels as the wall combination. The most common one is the second one.
What is a steel structure house?
A steel structure house is made of reinforced concrete, where the steel bars bear the tensile force and the concrete bears the pressure. Steel structure houses have the advantages of being strong, durable, having good fire resistance, good seismic performance, and low cost.
It is divided into two categories:
- Integral reinforced concrete structure. Formwork is erected at the construction site, reinforcing steel is configured, and concrete is poured and constructed.
- Assembled reinforced concrete structure. Pre-made reinforced concrete components are used in factories or construction sites and assembled on-site.
What is the difference between containerized houses and steel structure houses？
- Container houses are mainly made of steel, 90% recyclable, while steel hybrid structures are basically non-recyclable.
- Container houses are highly movable, while steel structure houses are not.
- Regarding land use, the container house can be used as a temporary building without approval for land use, while a steel structure house is needed.
