CURRENT STATE AND ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODULAR-BLOCK CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

Increasing and updating the residential sector is a very important topic for Kazakhstan and the CIS countries. To address this issue, it is necessary to reconsider the approach to the construction of buildings. The optimal step is to use ready-made modular blocks in the construction of residential complexes instead of monolithic reinforced concrete structures. They have a number of significant advantages that allow you to reduce the final cost of the object. The origin of this type of construction occurred in the XX century in the USSR on the basis of volume-block housing construction. Structural types of blocks and their configuration were presented in different configurations, which gave a wide choice of use. Similar systems were used abroad, but eventually they came to variants of blocks based on metal and wood. At the moment, the modular units are manufactured in Russia and will be manufactured in Kazakhstan at a special plant. The analysis revealed key aspects of modular blocks and further prospects for their use in construction.
