Modular connection is a designed system of connecting elements for permanently or detachably assembling building modules into a single structural and functional unit. It can be mechanical, welded or mixed, depending on the structural requirements and construction technology. The modular connection ensures the transfer of vertical and horizontal loads between modules and their mutual spatial stabilisation.
Its form and technical solutions result from the construction system adopted, the assembly tolerances and the order of assembly. When it comes to modular homes modular connections have a significant impact:
- rigidity of the system,
- airtightness of partitions,
- can be dismantled,
- the option to extend the modular house,
- modification of the building layout.
In addition, these connections must compensate for small geometric deviations of the modules, while maintaining the structural and service continuity of the building.
