Abstract

Traditional and temporary bunkhouses are typically constructed of wood and lumber. As a result, the use of trees is maximized. With this, deforestation contributes to climate change. This research aims to create a mobile bunkhouse where the wood will be replaced with eco-friendly, sustainable, lightweight, and durable materials such as Galvanized iron, Steels, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and Acrylic (PolyMethyl MethAcrylate or PMMA), making this study viable. The mobile bunkhouse is equipped with a site office, a restroom, a kitchen, a storage room, and a dormitory-typed bedroom. Moreover, the mobile bunkhouse is 75% more expensive than the temporary bunkhouse. However, the return on investment will be realized within one to two years. With this, the mobile bunkhouse is designed to withstand a maximum wind velocity of 155 kph and a maximum of 1.25m flood level, making it a calamity-proof structure per the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015 and the National Building Code of the Philippines. Thus, the wheeled structure can be viewed as a long-term solution that can be the best substitute for a conventional and temporary bunkhouse.

应用于建筑业的可持续、生态友好和防灾的移动板房设计

传统和临时铺位通常由木材和木板建造。因此，要最大限度地利用树木。因此，森林砍伐加剧了气候变化。本研究旨在创建一种移动式双层床房，用环保、可持续、轻质、耐用的材料（如镀锌铁、钢、聚氯乙烯（PVC）和丙烯酸树脂（聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯或 PMMA））取代木材，从而使本研究具有可行性。移动双层床房配备有现场办公室、洗手间、厨房、储藏室和宿舍型卧室。此外，移动双层床房比临时双层床房贵 75%。不过，投资回报将在一到两年内实现。此外，根据菲律宾国家结构规范（NSCP）2015 和菲律宾国家建筑规范，移动式双层床房的设计可抵御最高 155 千米/小时的风速和最高 1.25 米的洪水位，是一种防灾结构。因此，这种轮式结构可被视为一种长期解决方案，是传统和临时双层房屋的最佳替代品。
