This paper describes the classification problems of the unit modular housing through reviewing design drawings. Modular construction is a new industrialized homebuilding technology that uses large, factory produced modules. In general, more than 70% of construction processes in unit modular construction method are produced in factory after that the modular, which is completed is lifted on site and assembled. This research considers categorization in which the design drawing of the unit module housing can have problems. There are 17 types of construction method and 14 types of design approach as a result of the classification.

The productivity of the construction industry is lower than other industries. Modular system is suggested to enhance the productivity of the construction industry. Modular system is a construction method which installs units manufactured in factory on site. It enables to reduce the duration and improve the quality of the constructions. However, the construction technique applied to modular system has not overcome certain structural problems. To solve the problems and motivate the application of modular system, this study propose the hybrid system which use core to resist a lateral force.

Modular construction has been increasingly used for mid-to-high rise buildings attributable to the high construction speed, improved quality and low environmental pollution. The individual and repetitive room-sized module unit is usually fully finished in the factory and installed on-site to constitute an integrated construction. However, there is a lack of design guidance on modular structures. This paper mainly focuses on the evaluation of the initial stiffness of corrugated steel plate shears walls (CSPSWs) in container-like modular construction. A finite element model was firstly developed and verified against the existing cyclic tests. The theoretical formulas predicting the initial stiffness of CSPSWs were then derived. The accuracy of the theoretical formulas was verified by the related numerical and test results. Furthermore, parametric analysis was conducted and the influence of the geometrical parameters on the initial stiffness of CSPSWs was discussed and evaluated in detail. The present study provides practical design formulas and recommendations for CSPSWs in modular construction, which are useful to broaden the application of modular construction in high-rise buildings and seismic area.

Modular construction has benefits such as short construction duration and high productivity owing to the production in factory and owing to simultaneous on-site work. However, rework occurs in modular construction and the rework affects the efficiency of modular construction. The almost of causes of rework are exist in design process. To reduce the cause of rework, the information flow of the design process should be managed and the plan to reduce rework should be included. However, the modular construction has complex process because of impeded unit production so it is hard to manage the information flow in design process. Moreover, when the plan to reduce rework is included, the design process will be more complicated. Therefore, the objective of this research is to suggest the design process including the rework reduction plan and to alleviate the complexity of design process by using Dependency Structure Matrix(DSM). By using DSM, the iteration and feedback in design process is reduced and it can be expected that rework in modular project can be reduced by using suggested design process.

In Korea, it raised the need of the specification of unit modular construction, because there are no standard or manual. And it is urgent that the specification of unit modular construction is needed to develop in the domestic. Therefore, this study aims to propose the manual framework of the construction method. In the future, this framework will be based on the development of the manual on the unit modular construction method.

Off-Site Construction is being widely adopted as an alternative to solve endemic problems in construction industry such as low productivity and efficiency. However, it is strongly recommended to examine the transportation process to be optimized because it determines the size of a modular and influences the cost of the construction. Therefore, in this study simulation model for optimization of modular construction transportation plan was developed using AnyLogic. As a result of the study, the influence of trailer transport capacity and transport time increases as the number of modular which should be transported from factory to site increases.

최근 건설프로젝트는 기존의 노동집약적 현장생산 방식이 아닌, 공장 생산 기반의 현장 조립 방식인 모듈러 건축물에 주목하고 있다. 모듈러 건축 공법은 기존 방식에 비해 공기 단축효과가 높고, 해체 및 재사용이 용이해 임시 주거시설을 중심으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 모듈러 공법 실현을 위한 초기 투자비용에 대한 부담으로 인해 국내의 모듈러 건축시장은 아직 활성화되지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 모듈러 건축물이 가지고 있는 경제적 부담에 대한 대안으로서 시장의 수요에 따라 이동 가능한 모듈러 건축 방식에 대하여, 기존의 건축 방식과의 생애주기비용 비교를 통해 경제적 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 분석의 대상으로 삼은 RC 공법과 모듈러 공법의 이동형 모델의 경제성 평가 결과, 단기적인 측면에서는 RC공법이 빠른 수익률을 달성하였지만 건물의 전 생애주기 측면에서는 이동 가능한 모듈러 건축 방식의 경제성이 보다 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and modular construction are regarded as important technologies that address several issues faced by the construction industry. However, the application guidelines for BIM in current modular construction projects are insufficient. This paper presents the preliminary work on the analysis of BIM utilization in a modular construction project; a five-point likert scale questionnaire was conducted to assess the necessity of BIM applications by the Necessity Index(NI) of nine categories(U1~U9) across two construction phases (onsite and offsite). The survey results indicate that applications for BIM based quantity takeoff for offsite phase(U4) as well as BIM modeling for module joint details(U8) were deemed to be the most necessary in each phase. The results of this study can be used as detailed guidelines for the integration of BIM in modular construction projects.

Modular construction is a construction method whereby prefabricated volumetric units are produced in a factory and are installed on site to form a building block. The construction productivity can be substantially improved by the manufacturing and assembly of standardized modular units. 3D printing is a computer-controlled fabrication method first adopted in the manufacturing industry and was utilized for the automated construction of small-scale houses in recent years. Implementing 3D printing in the fabrication of modular units brings huge benefits to modular construction, including increased customization, lower material waste, and reduced labor work. Such implementation also benefits the large-scale and wider adoption of 3D printing in engineering practice. However, a critical issue for 3D printed modules is the loading capacity, particularly in response to horizontal forces like wind load, which requires a deeper understanding of the building structure behavior and the design of load-bearing modules. Therefore, this paper presents the state-of-the-art literature concerning recent achievement in 3D printing for buildings, followed by discussion on the opportunities and challenges for examining 3D printing in modular construction. Promising 3D printing techniques are critically reviewed and discussed with regard to their advantages and limitations in construction. The appropriate structural form needs to be determined at the design stage, taking into consideration the overall building structural behavior, site environmental conditions (e.g., wind), and load-carrying capacity of the 3D printed modules. Detailed finite element modelling of the entire modular buildings needs to be conducted to verify the structural performance, considering the code-stipulated lateral drift, strength criteria, and other design requirements. Moreover, integration of building information modelling (BIM) method is beneficial for generating the material and geometric details of the 3D printed modules, which can then be utilized for the fabrication.
