Exploration of shipping containers enhances modular construction and sustainability in multi-storey buildings.
Application of old shipping containers in the construction of different kinds of buildings is increasingly popular in the world and in our country as well. This is an economically and ecologically sustainable option. Containers, which were originally designed for transportation, after they have served their purpose, can be used to build modular buildings due to their high resistance, speed of construction and relatively low cost. These buildings are modern and flexible solutions in the construction, which use containers as modular units. Containers can be combined according to different modular schemes, which enable creative and functional architectural solutions. The paper discusses the application of old shipping containers in the construction of multi-storey buildings from several of the most important aspects in architecture and civil engineering.
