Lightweight concrete wall for modular integrated construction (mic) system

Abstract

Hybrid steel-concrete prefabricated modules include a steel frame and concrete wall panels. The steel frame includes steel support columns connected at a first end to steel longitudinal ceiling beams and connected at a second end to steel longitudinal floor beams. Plural lightweight concrete wall panels are positioned between the steel longitudinal ceiling beams and the steel longitudinal floor beams. Each concrete wall panel includes a lightweight concrete panel reinforced with plural steel reinforcing bars, the steel reinforcing bars connected at one end to a first steel angle at a top end of the lightweight concrete panel. A second steel angle is positioned at a bottom end of the lightweight concrete panel. A first connection is made between the first steel angle and a longitudinal ceiling beam and a second connection is made between the second steel angle and a longitudinal floor beam.
