Listed among one of many technologies that help construct earthquake-resistant buildings in Japan, light steel framing is highlighted.
Modular and light steel structures
Modular and light steel structures are seen as the construction sector’s future, based on many factors such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, being recyclable, sustainability, mass production, portability, and earthquake resistance.
Modular buildings are formed by the combination of one or more pre-fabricated (pre-manufactured) modules.
They can be built without a foundation, as well as easily dismantled and transported to another site.
