The recent situation in Syria requires the creation of new housing units models take
into account the functional, architectural, and safe requirements, in addition to specialty of
local and living conditions. The created models must achieve family
protection, time
gaining, using local materials, ability of transporting, reselling, rapid construction, and
supporting reconstruction plans.
This paper introduces, for the first time in Syria the study, design, fabricating, and
erecting of tow-story precast structure composed of reinforced concrete slabs and walls,
and light-weight steel structure fully connected by bolts. This structure was designed and
implemented in a way that enables producing varied and multi functional house units
achieving safety and functional conditions, and rapid construction and reconstruction
requirements.
The study was introduced by the authors and it was implemented in the General
Company of construction in Lattakia. New production lines of housing units were created
from scratch by consulting contract between Tishreen University (the authors) and General
Company of construction. In less than one year four housing units were designed and
produced:1- tow-story continuous building, 2-disaster housing unit, 3- general marketing
unit, 4- school unit. These units achieve all above mentioned requirements.
