Modular construction system

Abstract

A construction assembly for a prefabricated building, comprises horizontal elements and vertical elements as well as assembly elements. The horizontal, vertical and assembly elements are formed by a first panel forming one of the longitudinal faces, a second panel forming a structuring layer on the opposite longitudinal face, and an insulating layer disposed between the longitudinal faces. The thickness U of the vertical elements corresponds to the cross-section of the assembly elements, the length of the vertical elements is a multiple of U, and at least some of the assembly elements further comprise fluid pipes and/or electrical cabling.

1 . A construction assembly for a prefabricated building, comprising: horizontal elements and vertical elements as well as assembly elements, wherein the horizontal, vertical and assembly elements are formed by a first panel forming a longitudinal face, a second panel forming a structuring layer on the opposite longitudinal face, and an insulating material disposed between the longitudinal faces, a thickness U of the vertical elements corresponding to a cross-section of the assembly elements, the length of the vertical elements being a multiple of U, and at least some of the assembly elements further comprising fluid pipes and/or electrical cabling. 
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein at least some of the elements have male connectors inserted at regular intervals on a rim of the elements, and female connectors inserted symmetrically and facing the male connectors on the corresponding rims. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the rim of the assembly elements is machined at each insertion point of a female connector to create a trench at the bottom of which the female connector is housed. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the trench is wider on the edge of the rim of the assembly element to facilitate the insertion of the male connector. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a lower structural part of the assembly elements comprises a bracket reinforced by a metal profile of rectangular cross-section defining a pipe for ventilation of air. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 5 , further comprising orifices formed regularly along inner faces of the profile. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the orifices pass through the bracket. 
     
     
         8 . A method constructing a prefabricated building, comprising the following steps carried out successively:
 installing one or more horizontal modules to form a floor,   connecting a network of lower beams on all side faces of at least one horizontal module,   elevating vertical walls by connecting a series of vertical modules and posts on an upper face of the lower beams,   placing a second network of horizontal beams to which horizontal panels will ultimately be connected in order to compose a roof or an upper level.
