Abstract
The use of freight container for structural purpose had become trending among housing industry. Its strength in modular, sustainable, build ability and high structural performance makes it a potential option to solve the housing provision issue. Although the strength of standardized freight container had been specified by ISO, its ability for residential purpose is still in doubt. The physical testing of actual freight container can be costly and time-consuming. The objective of this research is to develop freight container model from numerical approach using finite element modelling. Abaqus/CAE was used to model the ISO container and compressive load was applied at each corner. Load-displacement relationship and stress distribution of container model were recorded and compared with previous work. From this research, the current model was able to achieve targeted load and showed similar structural response as previous model.
