STRUCTURAL SYSTEM — FOUNDATION TO ROOFING

A Unified Engineering Logic Across the Entire Modular Structure

Unlike traditional modular suppliers who assemble components independently, WAN-NSO engineers every structure as an interconnected system.
Vertical loads, lateral forces, climate behavior, and energy performance are all modeled together to ensure predictable behavior under real-world conditions — from hurricanes to seismic events to long-term thermal expansion.

This produces structures with higher structural stability, longer service life, superior resilience, and drastically lower maintenance cycles.

A. Vertical Load Framework — Engineered Strength from Bottom to Top

WAN-NSO uses a container-grade, high-tensile steel chassis system derived from ISO cargo container technology but optimized for modular buildings.

Technical Characteristics
  1. High-Tensile Steel (50–70 ksi yield strength)
    Equivalent to the steel used in international shipping containers, capable of bearing extreme compression loads without deformation.
  2. Nanotech Corrosion-Resistant Coatings
    A multi-layer protection system including nano-ceramic primers and polymerized top coats, providing:
    • 5–7× longer corrosion resistance than standard marine paint
    • Superior performance in coastal, chemical, and humid environments
  3. Load-Path Engineered for 4-Story Stacking
    The framework ensures that loads transfer vertically from module to foundation without stressing walls or non-bearing components.

Benefits

✔ Extremely high load performance
✔ Reduced structural fatigue
✔ Predictable building behavior in stacked configurations
✔ Longer life cycle under harsh environmental conditions

B. Lateral Load Management — Stability Under Wind, Storm & Seismic Events

Most modular buildings fail not from vertical load but from lateral stress.
WAN-NSO integrates a multi-layer defense system that manages lateral movement, torsion, uplift, and racking forces.

System Components
  1. Steel Shear Bracing
    Triangular steel bracing dissipates wind and seismic forces throughout the framework, limiting drift and preventing racking.
  2. Composite Shear Walls
    High-density composite boards bonded with nano-resin adhesives provide:
    • Higher shear resistance
    • Superior energy absorption
    • Greater post-event structural integrity
  3. Nano-Resin Structural Connectors
    Proprietary bonding elements designed to reduce joint deformation by 30%, creating:
    • Tighter structural fit
    • Better multi-module alignment
    • Lower long-term maintenance

Benefits

✔ Hurricane compliance
✔ Seismic zone readiness
✔ Wind-load tolerance for extreme regions
✔ Reduced vibration and long-term fatigue
