ABSTRACT:
A prefabricated building module can be essentially completed before transporting to the erection site. Thin walls, along with structural floor and ceiling, are fabricated on a plane aligned with the floor, and interconnected with hinges. After complete finishing of interior surfaces, such as wallpapering and carpeting, the ceiling and both walls are hinged into their final positions, along with temporary external strong-back forms as strong-backs. Internal soft-faced bracing sections are erected to support both walls before removal of the external strong-back forms. This bracing allows the completed module to be transported and craned to the upper floors of a multi-story building. The unit is light enough to allow knocked-down furniture to be carried inside.
The module includes external welded wire fabric or reinforcement bars that will serve to tie adjacent units together, when concrete is poured between them to form a common wall. The reusable internal bracing resists the pressure of the concrete while it is being poured, and is later removed by collapsing and passing through a doorway.
