The protective measures that need to be taken for container houses in terms of structural safety, fire safety, environmental hygiene, etc., as well as some other precautions mentioned, aim to provide comprehensive guidance for ensuring the safety, durability, comfort and safety of container houses and residents
1、 Structural safety
1. Choose high-quality containers
When constructing container houses, selecting high-quality containers that meet relevant national standards is the foundation. For container houses used for home and office purposes, high-quality containers can provide reliable support for the entire structure. The quality of its steel and welding process are directly related to the
stability and safety of container houses.
2. Follow technical specifications
In the assembly and use of containers, it is necessary to strictly follow the technical specifications for operation. Among them, it is particularly important to note that overloading is not allowed. Container houses have their designed load-bearing capacity limitations, and overloading may cause structural deformation, damage, and even collapse accidents, endangering the lives and property safety of residents.
3. Add supporting structures
It is necessary to add supporting structures to ensure the stability of container houses during use. The setting of supporting structures such as platforms, foundations, and wing columns can effectively disperse the weight of containers and enhance their ability to resist external forces such as wind and earthquake. These supporting structures need to be planned and constructed reasonably according to the specific usage environment, scale, and design requirements of container houses.
2、 Fire safety
1. Use thermal insulation and fire-resistant materials
Choosing fire-resistant materials with good thermal insulation performance is a key fire prevention measure in the construction process of container houses. In the event of a fire, thermal insulation and fire-resistant materials can effectively prevent the transfer of heat, slow down the spread of fire to the interior of the container, and provide more escape time for residents. At the same time, they can also reduce the damage to the container structure caused by the fire and minimize losses.
2. Set up fire isolation
Container houses should be equipped with effective fire isolation measures, such as protective iron doors and firewalls. Protective iron doors can withstand flames and high temperatures for a certain period of time, preventing fire from entering or spreading out of specific areas. Firewalls can divide container houses into different fire zones. Once a fire breaks out in one area, it can prevent the fire from quickly spreading to other areas, thus protecting the safety of internal personnel and items.
3、 Environmental sanitation
1. Control air quality
Maintaining air circulation inside container houses is crucial for the health of residents. By adding ventilation facilities such as vents and balconies, indoor air quality can be effectively improved. Good ventilation can eliminate indoor polluted air such as carbon dioxide, odors, and harmful gases, while introducing fresh outdoor air, creating a healthy and comfortable living environment for residents.
2. Choose hygiene and protective materials
When decorating the interior of container houses, priority should be given to using materials with better hygiene protection performance and no pollution. These materials do not release harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, and other volatile organic compounds, thus avoiding harm to the health of residents. For example, choosing environmentally friendly wall coatings, flooring materials, etc.
4、 Other precautions
1. Avoid overlapping high-level positions
Due to the relatively light weight of container houses, special caution is required when stacking and constructing them. Generally speaking, the number of stacked layers should not exceed three. If the stacking layers are too high, it may cause the center of gravity of the overall structure to be too high, resulting in poor stability and potential safety hazards such as tilting and collapse when subjected to external forces such as wind and earthquakes.
2. Fixed on the ground
Container houses must be firmly fixed on the ground, especially in areas with strong winds. Specialized bottom fixing devices such as anchor bolts and ground anchors can be used to tightly connect the container house to the ground. This can prevent container houses from being blown over or displaced in strong wind weather, ensuring their stability.
3. Do not exceed the load
Understanding the load capacity limit of container houses is an important part of ensuring safety. Whether it is placing furniture, equipment, or personnel activities, they must not exceed their designed load capacity. Once the load is exceeded, the structure of the container house may be damaged, affecting its service life and even causing safety accidents.
By implementing these comprehensive protective measures, the safety and durability of container houses can be effectively improved, providing residents with a safe and comfortable living and usage environment.
