INTRODUCTION TO MODULAR COORDINATION (MC)

It is the process of organizing the dimensions in buildings so as to reduce the variety of sizes to which components have to be made and to enable components to be used together on the building site without modification. MC adalah satu sistem antarabangsa untuk mempiawaikan pengukuran dalam bangunan. Berdasarkan standard ISO, ia telah digunakan untuk menyelaraskan kedudukan dan dimensi komponen atau ruang dalam rekabentuk bangunan. MC juga akan menggalakkan open building system

through standardization.

MC offers :
1 dimensional coordination

2 standardization

Factory Production:Under controlled environment Free from weather influence

3 prefabrication

Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site, and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located.

The term is used to distinguish this process from the more conventional construction practice of transporting the basic materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out.

INTRODUCTION TO MODULAR COORDINATION (MC)

a. The used of modular ( basic modules, multi-modules and submodules) b. A reference system to define coordinating spaces and zones for building elements and for the components which from them.
- menentukan koordinasi ruang dan zon

c.

Rules for locating building elements within the reference system.

- peraturan menempatkan element bagunan menerusi sistem rujukan

d. Rules for sizing building components in order determine their work size.
- peraturan saiz komponen bangunan

e. Rules for defining preferred sizes for building components and coordinating dimensions for building
- Peraturan untuk menentukan saiz yang dicadangkan

the use of modules

a. basic module b. multimodules c. submodules

M = 100 mm 3M, 6M, 9M, 12M . . . M/2, M/4 . . .

1. The use of modules :

Basic module

M = 100 mm

the smallest module to be used to coordinate position and size of components, elements and installations.

1. The use of modules :

1. Where, basic module
2. horizontal planning module MH = 3M (300mm) 3. vertical planning module

M = 100 mm

MV = M (100mm)

1. The use of modules :

Multi modules

3M, 6M, 9M, 12M . . .

planning modules for main dimensions of framework especially the span (horizontal dimensioning)

1. The use of modules : Submodules

M 2

M 4

for sizing of components requiring increment smaller than M not for planning modules

2. Positioning of building elements

Types of references Modular reference systems enables designer to relate sensibly elements of constructionhorizontal and vertical elements. The types of
positioning reference is:

boundary reference axial reference interaxial reference flush reference

i) boundary reference
coordinates the position of the building components

boundary grid

placement of component within two Parallel modular coordinating grids or planes so that it fills the space or zone.

ii) axial reference

coordinates the position of a components by placing the component so that the middleaxis coincides with a modular coordinating grid of plane

axial grid

iii) interaxial reference

coordinates the position and dimension of building component by a reference
interaxial grid

iv) flush reference

coordinates the position of components by placing one surface of the component flush on to a modular coordinating grid or plane

modular zone

flush grid

INTRODUCTION TO MODULAR COORDINATION (MC)

- better coordination between various parties in

construction
- Reduction in design time, especially with the use of

standard details and dimensional coordination

- Reduction in the wastage of material, time and

manpower in cutting and trimming on site

- Reduction in manufacturing and installation costs - Facilitating prefabrication
