Technical Features of Prefab Buildings

You can see technical features of our prefab buildings in detail via links in relevant pages. Being designed for comfortable spaces by Precon specialists, our buildings are manufactured through advanced technology, and first class quality products are preferred for each detail and part of the building. In our technical features section, you can review wall panels, roof and coverings, windows and doors, electrical and water installations, electrical and water fittings.


KARMOD’s yearly production capacity of prefabricated buildings is 300.000 m²

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

Karmod prefabricated houses are outstanding residential solutions that are manufactured at Karmod facility then delivered and assembled as ready to use at the desired location.
Prefabricated houses are manufactured in easy to assemble light weight parts that can be transported by trucks and carried merely by manpower to and off the truck. All the steel columns and beams that form the loading system are manufactured by means of roll-form high tech machines. As for walls that form the building they are not considered part of the loading system which explains why they do not get damaged as all load is handled by the steel columns and H-shape beams based on the static calculations.
Prefabricated houses are assembled and installed on a flat concrete slab and are fastened to it through steel dowels, which enables future reinstalling to another location if required.
You can find general properties of prefabricated houses in the following sections.

2. PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

The main structure of prefabricated houses consists of thin galvanized steel profiles conforming to
DIN EN 10326 standard, and produced with S320GD+Z +AZ (Erdemir quality no: 1332), S350GD+Z +AZ (Erdemir quality no: 1335), and/or (Erdemir quality no: 1322).
Static calculations and load values are calculated by using Sap2000, CFS, STA4CAD, BRICSCAD, HAYESCAD based on the intended usage of the building and required seismic and static calculations of the region where the building is constructed.
Prefabricated Houses are being manufactured by taking into consideration:
ØSnow load (Max.):80 kg/m2,
ØWind force: 90 kg/m2,
ØProduction is according to Turkish standard institutions specifications TS 498
ØLive load is 200 kg/ m² and dead load is 400 kg /m²
ØPrefabricated house earthquake parameters are A =0.40 I=1 n= 0.3
