[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, attachment lock 141 may further include a handle 1420. In an exemplary embodiment, handle 1420 may be associated with first horizontal locking pin 1414. In an exemplary embodiment, attachment lock 141 may further include a cable interconnected between handle 1420 and second end of first horizontal locking pin 1414. In an exemplary embodiment, when handle 1420 is raised, the cable is configured to pull out first horizontal locking pin 1414 from first horizontal pin receiving hole 634 of first block 632. In an exemplary embodiment, when first horizontal locking pin 1414 is pulled out from first horizontal pin receiving hole 634 of first block 632, attachment lock 141 may be disengaged from first prefabricated module 101. FIG. 7F shows a perspective view of attachment lock 141 in a scenario in which handle 1420 is not raised, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 7G shows a perspective view of attachment lock 141 in a scenario in which handle 1420 is raised, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, first prefabricated module 101 may further include a plastic rail embedded in top layer 205. In an exemplary embodiment, this plastic rail may be used for connection of first prefabricated module 101 to some other structures such as a modular wall. FIG. 8A shows first prefabricated module without a plastic rail, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 8B shows first prefabricated module with a straight plastic rail, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 8C shows first prefabricated module with a 90- degree plastic rail, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8C, the attachment locks may be aligned with the plastic rail.

[0063] As discussed above, the modules of prefabricated modular foundation 100 may include panels that may form volumes with different maps and designs by the way they are placed next to each other. The design of these panels may be such that without a need to a specialized workforce, it is possible to install them in principle by 2-4 people. The disclosed modules of prefabricated modular foundation 100 may be made of recombinant fiber concrete (special combination of cement, igneous aggregate, glass fibers, and water) in the dimensions of 100 x 100 x 25 centimeters, which after being placed next to each other, by metal attachment locks, enclose each other and form a concrete slab 25 cm thick in the desired dimensions. It should be noted that the lower surface of these modules (surface with soil contact) may be designed to be uneven to increase the stability of the volume against lateral forces by increasing friction. [0064] As discussed above, the disclosed modules may consist of five layers. In an exemplary embodiment, these modules, when placed next to each other, may form a concrete slab that, in addition to the role of the floating foundation (transfer of forces from upper structures to the ground widely), also may place the final layer of the floor in its upper part. The bottom layer 201, that may be in direct contact with the soil, may be made of fiber concrete with a 28-day compressive strength of 17.5 MPa and its specific weight is 1210 kg / m3.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, waterproof layer 202 may be two layers of polymer waterproofing that may prevent any soil moisture from reaching the upper layers. In an exemplary embodiment, porous layer 203 may be designed to be porous, in addition to lightening, it may also provide the necessary conditions for the passage of the facility. In an exemplary embodiment, thermal insulation layer 204 may be the thermal insulation of the floor and the top layer 205, which may also be the final floor of the building, is polished concrete. Because in addition to good strength and low permeability, it does not add weight to concrete modules.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, lower plastic gasket 222 located around the module may be made of fireproof plastic. In an exemplary embodiment, these gaskets in two layers (between thermal insulation-polished concrete and the middle of waterproofing insulation) may minimize the possibility of water particles penetration as well as hot and cold air from the seam between the lower modules.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the second part of these rails may be installed on the lower surface of the upper structures such as some wall modules. In an exemplary embodiment, these two plastic pieces may be designed to minimize the penetration of water particles as well as hot and cold air after being placed on top of each other.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the attachment locks may be aligned with the plastic rails 802. In an exemplary embodiment, the material of the upper part of the lock may be changed to compressed plastic. According to the figures, the tabs at the junction of the lock and the rail may be designed to overlap the two parts.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the path of power transmission in this system may be such that electricity is directed to the desired range through the floor modules and then transmitted to the wall and ceiling through vertical interfaces.

[0070] The pattern used in the design of the bottom layer 201 has increased the level of contact with the soil up to three times, which may be directly related to the increase in resistance to lateral forces. Also, the circle used in the porosity pattern of the porous layer 203 may have a diameter of six cm, which has reduced the weight of this layer by up to 25%. The direction of the grooves of the upper plastic gasket 252 is such that it prevents particles from penetrating into the lower layers, while the function of the lower plastic gasket is the opposite and therefore its grooves are in the opposite direction of the upper one.

[0071] The general dimensions of the attachment locks may be 30*10 cm and the conical tab with a height of eight cm, along with the vertical grooves of the walls, may connect it to the second part.

[0072] One of the design principles in this system is to place upper structures such as wall modules on the middle lines of concrete modules. For this purpose, the rails always may pass through the center of the concrete modules. In an exemplary embodiment, this may cause the concrete modules to be divided into three categories: without rails, with straight rails, and with 90-degree rails.

[0073] As shown in figures, the vertical conical tab and the grooves on outer surface of the second part, which increase the contact between surface and concrete, thereby also increase the resistance to lateral forces, while the horizontal metal tabs may withstand the vertical forces. The result of these issues may be to hold the two lower modules together correctly.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the horizontal metal tab may be a cylinder 1.5 cm in diameter and seven cm high that the spring located at the end always pushes it out. After placing the first and second parts of the lock on top of each other, due to the sloping surface designed at the beginning of the metal tab and on its cylinder, the tab may go back and after being placed along the cylinder, it may be guided forward by the spring force and may activate the lock. The handle may be connected to the end of the metal tab using a cable. In this way, when the handle is raised, the metal tab may be pulled back and the lock may be released.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, these handles may be made of locking surface plates and after finishing the work, they may be aligned with the surface of the attachment lock through rotation. The use of four metal tabs to create the necessary vertical resistance in the mechanism designed for attachment locks can be seen in figures

[0076] The attachment lock gasket 1423, after placing the lock, may be aligned with the gaskets installed in the lower modules and may prevent water and air particles from penetrating into the lower layers.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, the side surfaces of the first and second parts of the attachment lock may have grooves with a special pattern to maximize the lateral resistance. In an exemplary embodiment, the openings of these patterns may always be shrinking from top to bottom, which may make it easier to put the lock in place correctly. The location of the horizontal metal tab and the vertical conical tab can also be seen in the figures. The diameter of the circle at the beginning and end of this cone is three and 1.5 cm and its height is eight cm. [0078] The design of the lower module and the attachment lock is such that the conical tab of the lock is placed between the porosity patterns of the lower module. Also, the pattern used in the design of the lower concrete layer can be seen in figures

[0079] As said above, the disclosed system is a modular system in the construction of floor of the buildings that consists of several floor structural modules, which are placed next to each other in different positions and create the desired shelter according to the needs of people and environmental conditions, then are separated from each other and are used in another situation.

It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various implementations. This is for purposes of streamlining the disclosure, and is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed implementations require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed implementation. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.

While various implementations have been described, the description is intended to be exemplary, rather than limiting and it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that many more implementations and implementations are possible that are within the scope of the implementations. Although many possible combinations of features are shown in the accompanying figures and discussed in this detailed description, many other combinations of the disclosed features are possible. Any feature of any implementation may be used in combination with or substituted for any other feature or element in any other implementation unless specifically restricted. Therefore, it will be understood that any of the features shown and/or discussed in the present disclosure may be implemented together in any suitable combination. Accordingly, the implementations are not to be restricted except in light of the attached claims and their equivalents. Also, various modifications and changes may be made within the scope of the attached claims.
