Title: Computerized Design of Small Buildings Using Modular Construction
Authors: El-Gammal, Hoda Abdel-Kader
Advisor: Siddall, J.N.
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Keywords: computerized, modular, construction, buildings,
Publication Date: Mar-1972
Abstract: <p> A new prefabrication building system using modular construction is proposed. </p> <p> The existing housing systems, the requirements of both the housebuilding system and the dwelling house are discussed. The effect of innovation in building and the use of standardization, coordination and preferred dimensions are described.</p> <p> A study of the space allocation problem; its definition, importance, and solving techniques is presented.</p> <p> The computerization of plans based on the proposed system of building is achieved through the use of the user oriented program developed in this thesis. It designs the optimum plan configuration given the user requirements and constraints.</p>
