Design Principles
2. Conditions such as wind and snow loads and outdoor calculated temperatures are different in different regions, and the designed mobile homes should be applicable to the region;
3. According to the characteristics of the portable dwellings, the design needs to pay special attention to the transport and dismantling of the problem, such as component types and fog pieces should be reduced as much as possible in order to facilitate the interchangeability and simplify the installation procedures, and at the same time to minimise the occupancy of the volume of the transport. In addition, the design should also pay attention to make the components and joints and other places can be in the transport process is not easy to be damaged or deformed to affect the installation;
4. Portable dwellings, like other buildings, must be designed in conjunction with the availability of materials.
In foreign countries, portable dwellings can be found everywhere, which are made up of moulded cardboard, foam boards and aluminium, and can be built in one go like building blocks. Subsequently, connected to the water pipe, color sheet, access to electrical wiring, you can move in. This kind of house, usually equipped with wheels, when the need to move, pulling the car can go. Because of its low price, it is more widely used in foreign countries. In particular, in the Sydney Olympics, the superiority of this lightweight house, was played to the extreme.
In order to alleviate the housing crisis in the south-east of England and London, the British Government, the Mayor of London, has personally taken on the battlefield to "promote" a kind of miniature lightweight steel mobile homes.
In the United States, a kind of integral mobile homes that can be towed behind a car is popular. According to statistics, about 10 million people in the United States live in motor homes, accounting for about 4 per cent of the total population of the United States.
The natural disasters of hurricanes in the southern part of the United States in 2005 and the earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 have seen the emergence of mobile homes, which have provided temporary shelter for many residents who have lost their homes due to the disasters.
Many mobile home communities have been built in the affected areas, with gravel roads, street lights and power lines, and mobile homes equipped with air-conditioning, plumbing and television antennas. Because of their mobility and ease of erection, mobile homes have played a great role in earthquake relief and post-disaster reconstruction.
Mobile homes have been of great help to many large cities abroad in solving the problem of oversupply of housing and the difficulty of accommodating low-income groups.
