Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modular buildings that are impervious to small arms fire, and more particularly, to buildings which are easy to transport, rapidly deployable, reusable, and which can be integrated with each other in a modular fashion or individually deployed as a base camp for operation in a hostile environment.
  • Some building structures have hinged panels connected to each other in accordion fashion, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,726,155. Although this type of building structure may be assembled relatively quickly, assembly of hinges to the panels, and subsequent assembly of the panels to each other, takes time at the production facility. Another type of building structure may be readily assembled without the use of nails, screws, bolts or the like, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,802,134. This building, however, requires numerous latch members or clips to interlock adjacent panels. Other building structures include interlocking tongue-in-groove arrangements to connect adjacent panels, such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,299,594. However, this type of building structure has a ceiling construction that permits rain water to seep into the building, are not reusable and provide no protection from small arms fire.
  • None of the prior art methods meet the demand for low maintenance, standardized design, mass loaded, insulated panels that are impervious to small arms fire and comprising prefabricated steel components anchored to or resting on pilings or supports that readily accommodate various contour or surface irregularities for ease of erection and dismantling.
  • the present invention is directed to a modular building that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations of the related art, and to a method of assembling those modular buildings to form a safe and durable base camp, which is easy to transport and construct. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the apparatus particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as in the appended drawings.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention which is intended to accomplish at least some of the foregoing objects includes a modular building assembly constructed from prefabricated components for providing a military base camp, and the like.
  • the modular building assembly includes a plurality of building units either singularly disposed or configured for releasable engagement with an adjacent building unit. Accordingly, it is therefore a general object of the invention to provide a modular building, in which these objects are achieved and where one basic modular unit impervious to small arms fire can be used as a key component of a variety of different structures.
  • methods are provided for assembling a military base camp comprising assessing the needs of the base camp; determining the camp layout; configuring the components required to provide for the prefabricated buildings, wherein the buildings are impervious to small arms fire and have force protection features; acquiring and/or fabricating the components of the buildings; and packaging the prefabricated components for transport to the camp location for assembly.
  • roofing and the sidewall panels are preferably insulated metal panels that are thermowall fluted and optionally comprise insulated windows.
  • the roofing and sidewall panels are preferably of a sandwich construction comprising metals panels with an insulating material disposed between.
  • the insulating material is a rigid foam insulation.

  • any suitable firearms resistant material known in the art can be used including a mass loaded vinyl barrier comprising a vulcanized rubber encapsulated fabric which is at least one eight of an inch thick and sandwiched in the wall panels. It is another object of the invention to provide a building module impervious to small arms fire which can be transformed quickly to an erected, rigid structure. The structure can easily be dismantled to a flat pack for transportation, redeployment or storage. It is a specific object of the invention to provide a modular building which may be quickly assembled to provide temporary shelter in all climates with minimal site preparation and particularly suitable for relatively long term military base camps.
  • kits are provided for assembling a base camp wherein the modular building units are reusable, impervious to small arms fire and constructed with prefabricated components to form an administration building, a headquarters building, dining and kitchen buildings, housing units, storage buildings, ammunition building, etc.
