Modern Capital Volume-Block Construction in Russia Based on a Universal Volume-Block (Modular) System with a Load-Bearing Metal Frame

The article presents a brief history of the development of bulk-block construction in the USSR and modern Russia. The technology of capital volume-block construction based on a universal volume-block (modular) system with a load-bearing metal frame is described. The main technical solutions of buildings manufactured using this technology are given. Restrictions on the use of technology for building buildings using a volume-block (modular) system with a load-bearing metal frame are described. The identification of this system according to the existing traditional classifications of such house-building systems is performed, as well as the author’s classification of existing volume-block house-building systems is given. The design features of the described system are investigated, and the problems of mass implementation of the system of volume-block (modular) housing construction in our country are presented. Possible ways of development are described, using this system for the implementation of state programs and for the development of industrial individual housing construction. The positive experience of building construction using this technology in Russia is analyzed. Examples of objects built in Russia for various functional purposes are given.
