Are prefabricated houses earthquake resistant?

Prefabricated houses are currently the most earthquake-resistant structures. They can withstand earthquakes more than 10 times more than traditional reinforced concrete structures. The reason for this is that steel skeleton is used instead of concrete in prefabricated houses. In this way, there is a system that distributes the load instead of resisting the earthquake during the earthquake. Since steel is a lightweight material and has high strength, it is very resistant to large earthquake loads.

The reason why prefabricated houses are known for being earthquake resistant is that they are designed that way. According to the engineers' calculation of these structures, which emerged as earthquake residences, prefabricated houses will withstand earthquakes of magnitude 8.

Can a two-story prefabricated house collapse? Is it safe?

Two-storey prefabricated houses are very safe thanks to the use of steel. Duplex prefabricated houses are also very popular.

Are two-story prefabricated houses wind-resistant?

Two-storey prefabricated houses are produced in a very resistant way against wind and high storms. If the duplex prefabricated houses with an average wind resistance of 90 km / h will be installed in a very windy area, then it will be necessary to provide extra reinforcement. But if the duplex prefabricated houses with an average wind resistance of 90 km / h will be installed in a very windy area, then it will be necessary to provide extra reinforcement.

Are prefabricated houses fire resistant?

Can lightning strike a prefabricated house?

Although prefabricated houses are very resistant to earthquakes, cold and impacts, other measures may also be required to maximize this. Lightning rods or insulated lightning conductors can be used to protect against overvoltage and high impacts.

What is the lifespan of prefabricated houses?

To talk about the lifespan of prefabricated houses, it is necessary to consider many criteria. If there is life inside the house and maintenance is carried out continuously, it is quite long-lasting. Criteria such as materials used, usage status, proximity to the sea, weather conditions are also very important.

With the calculations of our engineers, the average lifespan of our buildings can be 50-60 years.

Are the walls of prefabricated houses strong?

The inner and outer wall thicknesses of prefabricated houses are designed as 6-10 cm. There may be those who think that the walls of prefabricated houses are flimsy, but we would like to remind you that they are very resistant to impact and water. 10 cm outer walls and 6 cm inner walls are used. Betopan or fibercement walls are very flexible. The walls are also very strong because they are made of cement and oak wood.

Why is wall thickness important in duplex prefabricated houses?

Wall thickness is of course important in prefabricated houses, but the insulation material used in the wall and the density and thermal conductivity values of the material are very important rather than the wall thickness. Prefabricated house walls protect from wind and earthquake. In terms of sound, it also prevents sound propagation inside the house. Wall thickness in duplex houses is important due to severe wind and difficult weather conditions.

What to look for when buying a prefabricated house?

Before buying a prefabricated house, it is necessary to understand your needs and the climate of the region where you plan to build a house.
