A single L-shaped modular building unit comprises an integral end wall and ceiling and incorporates an outwardly depending flange peripherally surrounding the entire modular unit. The overall ceiling length is equal to twice the ceiling width. The outwardly depending peripherally surrounding flange is rectangular along its exposed edge to provide a modular unit which can be easily interconnected with similar units in any desired arrangement. Along the interior facing edge of the flange, the overall rectangular shape incorporates radii of curvature at the ceiling-wall interface for additional aesthetic purposes. The interconnecting portion between the wall and the ceiling is a saddle-shaped curve extending both longitudinally and laterally substantially the entire length of the ceiling and down a substantial portion of the wall. The peripherally surrounding outwardly depending flange of each modular unit is readily interconnected while the saddle-shaped portion provides structural strength to support the weight of the ceiling. The short open end of the unit is closed with two window, wall, or door units which also acts as a support for that end of the ceiling. Four such units may be used to close the long open ends. Thus, structure of widely varying architecture may be built of more multiple units mounted on a floor, slab or deck.

This invention relates to improvements in prefabricated modular housing. These improvements comprise the combination of extruded aluminum beams, rafters and joists; plastic wall studs; wall sections having a styrene or butadiene foam in intermediate sections, plastic or butadiene thin solid sheets for interior and exterior wall surfaces, flexible plastic wiring comprising copper laminated on plastic inserted between the interior wall surface plastic and the foam; aluminum sandwich structural load carrying members on the perimeter of the wall sections; fluid conduits running in interior apertures of the wall studs; and the combination of these features being fabricated into modular units where each unit consists of several rooms of the resultant structure.

A modular unit for constructing a modular structure is described. The modular unit comprises a structural frame, which includes at least one upper beam, at least one lower beam, and at least one column extending between said upper and lower beams and connected therebetween. At least one of said upper or lower beams is arranged to define at least one chamber for receiving a building material therein along at least a portion of its length, said column being connected to said portion of said beam. Part of said beam is removed along said portion of said beam to define at least one opening to said chamber.

A foldable building structure is provided that includes a fixed space portion including a first floor portion, a first ceiling portion, a first wall portion rigidly secured to the first floor portion and the first ceiling portion. The foldable building structure includes a second wall portion which is movable between a folded position and a deployed position, and a third wall portion which movable between a folded position and a deployed position. The second and third wall portions when in their deployed positions form with the first wall portion a first wall component of the foldable building structure. The second wall portion is capable of being moved between the folded position and the deployed position without moving the third wall portion between the folded position and the deployed position.

A modular post-tensioned shear system having a plurality of modular sections stacked on top of each other. Each modular section having one or more hollow structural section (HSS) members and one or more form walls. Each modular section having a post-tensioning assembly within the one or more hollow HSS members forming an HSS post-tensioning assembly. The post-tensioning assembly having two or more conduit members (e.g., hollow tubes located within the stacked HSS members) coupled together through conduit couplings, two or more tensioning members (e.g., rebar, cables, or the like located within the conduit members) coupled together through tensioning couplings, and a tensioning lock (e.g., bearing member, locking coupling, or the like) that tensions the HSS post-tensioning assembly after installation. The modular structural shear system provides improved resistance to cyclic loading and/or improved assembly during construction (e.g., within new structures, retrofitting older structures, or the like).

A foldable building structure is provided that includes a fixed space portion including a first floor portion, a first ceiling portion, and a first wall portion. The structure includes a second ceiling portion and a third ceiling portion each movable between a folded position that is proximate to the fixed space portion and a deployed position. The second and third ceiling portions are movable from their respective folded positions to their respective deployed positions to form with the first ceiling portion a ceiling component of the building structure when in their deployed positions, the ceiling component having a periphery. At least one of the first floor portion, the first ceiling portion, the second ceiling portion, or the third ceiling portion includes at least a section of a closed-loop passageway proximate to the periphery in the interior portion adapted to contain a utility line.

A building system may include at least one diaphragm beam having opposite ends connected to an external structural frame of a building, at least one pre-assembled floor-ceiling panel adjacent to a vertical side of and coupled to the diaphragm beam, and at least one pre-assembled wall adjacent to a horizontal side of and coupled to the diaphragm beam, The diaphragm beam may be filled with a mineral-based material, such as concrete. The one or more pre-assembled floor-ceiling panels may each include a plurality of joists extending perpendicular to the diaphragm beam, a floor-panel including at least one metal layer attached to the joists on a floor side of the pre-assembled floor-ceiling panel, and a ceiling panel including at least one layer comprising mineral-based material attached to the joists on a ceiling side of the pre-assembled floor-ceiling panel. The one or more pre-assembled walls may include interior and/or exterior walls of a building.
