On the transition of the prefabrication system of buildings constructed at Syowa Station by JARE

The total floor area of buildings at Syowa Station in Antarctica is 4400m^2 and about 80% of these buildings is prefabricated. This paper aims at reviewing the significance and the transition of prefabrication of buildings since the establishment of the station in 1957 with reference to the problems...

description The total floor area of buildings at Syowa Station in Antarctica is 4400m^2 and about 80% of these buildings is prefabricated. This paper aims at reviewing the significance and the transition of prefabrication of buildings since the establishment of the station in 1957 with reference to the problems of design and the new proposals by the authors. To evaluate the superiority of prefabricated buildings, the construction speed and the labor were calculated on the basis of construction days and floor areas.
