“…There are several researches been conducted to investigate the structural performance of shipping container house using different approach. Dated to 1987, a group of researchers had created a space frame model to stimulate the shipping container under ISO loading requirement [14]. Although the results did not represent the actual behavior of container structure especially on wall panel, this approach of numerical analysis had been adopted in future researches as computer-aid analysis can process numerous types of container house configuration, in which the full-scale experiment cannot be done frequently.…”

The emerging of shipping container house can help to relief the challenging issue in provision of dwelling in certain countries with overpopulation or surge of refugee. However, the suitability of shipping container, which is initially designed for transportation purpose, for shelter usage is not well understand. This paper aims to understand the current research on the technical aspect of container for shelter provision and the gaps of knowledges. Literature review is done on the up-to-date research about the container shelter and the potential of container shelter is summarized. From the study, shipping container can be suitable for shelter provision with some improvement to be done.

“…Finally, a full-size container with protection structure had been studied to verify previous finite element analysis. Sinha and Prakash 11 proposed a space frame model for calculating stresses and deflections of containers subjected to some loading conditions when compared with experimental results. It was found that the side wall simulations provided unsatisfactory results, probably because modeling a container as a space frame for lifting and restraint tests had not represented a good simulation of the actual test conditions.…”

In practical engineering, the container building usually has an opening and stiffening process to meet the requirements of architectural design. So, the stiffness of the container with holes has been studied and stiffening member has been considered in the process of container stiffness enhancement. First, based on the paper ''Theoretical and experimental studies on in-plane stiffness of integrated container structure,'' the stiffness of corrugated sheet with window, door, and combined window has been derived and then the stiffness of corrugated sheet with above-mentioned holes has been derived. Thus, through stiffness distribution between frame and corrugated sheet, the stiffness of container with holes has been derived. Second, through finite element software of Abaqus, full-size container model with holes has been established and combined with stiffening members. Through simulation, the load-displacement curve has been got and then compared with theoretical analysis. Finally, through full-size 20-and 40-ft containers with holes and stiffening members, corresponding experimental verification has been done, and by comparison of load-displacement curve with theoretical analysis and finite element simulation, the front study has been verified. Research result has made feasible in design and construction of container building and provided some references to corresponding specification preparation.

This paper does some research on the mechanical property of multilayer container structure under high temperature and gives some suggestions on how to make fire protection based on the performance-based fire design. Firstly, using the software of FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator), the fire background and fire heating release curve are determined. Through the simulation, the actual temperature curves (of the top and bottom temperature curves of the middle, door, and corner position in the container) are obtained and compared with the standard temperature curve of ISO-834. Secondly, using the software of Abaqus, a full scale finite element model of multilayer container structure is established. Two temperature fields under the standard temperature curve of ISO-834 and the actual temperature curve (of the most unfavorable curve of the top temperature curve of the middle position in the container) are obtained, respectively. Thirdly, the thermal-mechanical coupled analysis is carried out for the container structure under the wind loading and temperature field. The research result can be feasible in design and construction of container buildings and provides some references to corresponding specification preparation.
