Spatial planning and structural solutions of wooden modular buildings

The spatial planning and structural solutions features of modular buildings, which bearing structures mainly made of wood, are considered. The article analyzes the size ranges of the various domestic manufacturers modular buildings used in individual housing construction. An overview of the application area of the buildings made by modular technology using wooden frame is given. It is noted that the main wooden buildings application segment, both abroad and in Russia, are low-rise buildings. Classification of the modular buildings with wooden bearing structures in accordance with GOST R 71617–2024 was performed, the main structural schemes of volume blocks with the wooden bearing structures used for the modular buildings construction were determined. The advantages of using this technology, such as high speed of construction, factory-made quality, and the ability to work regardless of weather conditions, are considered. The article touches upon the prospects for the modular construction technology application, including the use of wooden-framed modules in the development of the Russian Federation northern regions and Siberia. The issues hindering the widespread use of the modular buildings are raised.
