| Summary: | This paper describes the application of Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board (PSSDB)
system as innovative lightweight composite school classroom modules. The structural
composite panel system consists of profiled steel sheet attached to the dry board via
mechanical self drilling and self tapping screws. Compared to traditional building systems and
materials, the PSSDB system eliminates the used of conventional timber formworks, columns
and roof trusses in buildings. Besides, the proposed system has many advantages such as it
is lightweight, making construction less labour-orientated, shorter construction time, materials
optimisation, and provides better finished products. The proposed panel system falls under
the Industrialised Building System (IBS) category since all the structural panel components
are manufactured in a factory, transported and assembled into a structure or building with
minimal additional site work. The system was successfully implemented in two school
classroom modules at Sekolah Kebangsaan Telok Mas, Melaka, Malaysia. |
