Application of this 40ft modified shipping container house for washing clothes:
40ft modified shipping container house for washing clothes is modified from the standard shipping container. 20 feet, modified for office and living. The wall panel is insulated with PU foam. PU foam has the most outstanding insulated affect. Better than mineral woo or glass wool. Especially adapt to the cold area, such as in Russia.
Container Modifications:
Shipping containers have monocoque bodies. The corrugation panels (roof, sides, and back), floor, purlins, front doors, frame, and rails form an integrated structural skin. They are strong and made to carry floor loads far in excess of what is required for typical home construction. But, when we modify them, cutting holes or penetrating members, they are weakened. High level of modification the shipping container home design calls for, our structural engineer and architect will supply a professional plan.
As we said above, when cutting a shipping container or removing any of the paneling, it's structural integrity is compromised. As an extreme example, consider the removal of all a container's corrugated paneling along the length of one side (see the images below). Without reinforcement, the container deforms and then fails structurally. As a general rule, whenever remove portions of the panelized corrugation, steel framing will be required to frame out the opening. In addition, column and roof support will be necessary depending on the size of the opening(s) and roof/wind loads.
Especially adapt to the cold area, such as in Russia.

| Conclusion:Stacking ISO containers 10 high on land is reasonable, and stacks as high as 12 may be possible depending on the type of container purchased and on the loading of the container with Off-Axis detector elements. For a final detector design, good engineering practice would require that the corner posts of the selected containers be loaded to failure to more accurately determine the safety factor of the stacked array. |
