Abstract
This chapter discusses special construction in the following areas: building modules, manufactured—fabricated rooms, special structures, manufactured engineered structures, special function construction, special facilities components and athletic and recreation special construction. Steel mobile buildings are much stronger than fiberglass units because of the construction—most frequently they are continuously welded 6 by 6 in., 4 by 4 in., or 2 by 4 in. Speed of construction and low initial cost are the main advantages of mobile modules; moreover, on‐site labor requirements are minimal. Isolated rooms incorporate special construction to reduce intrusive noise and vibration from outside a room or to contain the sound and impact energy generated within a room. The most effective floor construction is a floating concrete slab, which is separated from the building structure by steel springs, neoprene, or glass‐fiber isolation mounts. Designating responsibility for engineering, fabrication, and construction may allow better cost control.
