A Solution for Stacking Multiple Precast Housing Modules During Shipment on a Barge
A modular construction company, Nunafab/Illu, is in the process of building high-quality, durable, and energy-efficient total volumetric precast concrete modular houses in Nunavut. The modules are supposed to be stacked on a barge and shipped from a precast concrete plant in Quebec to Nunavut. The roof of the modules is not flat but rather sloped; therefore, in order to place a module on top of another, a temporary stacking structure (TSS) needs to be placed on the roof of the lower module to make it level. In this study, first, a design for a temporary steel structure that will be placed and secured in between two modules is proposed. A steel truss structure with optimal weight, performance, and constructability built using hollow structural section (HSS) members is proposed to be used. HSS members provide high torsional, compressive, and flexural resistance and can be welded at the connections without much complication. Equally distanced bays, two in the 4.5 m long direction and four bays in the 9 m long direction, are considered. The total mass of the TSS is 3.4 T, which is only 3.4% of the mass of a module. Then the anchor bolts, bolted pin, and roller connection designs are proposed. This is the preliminary design for this TSS and can be modified as the project progresses.
