A foldable portable building (20) can be collapsed to fit within the outside dimensions of an internationally standardised (I.S.O.) goods container to facilitate mechanical handling and transportation. The building (20) comprises a rigid main support having a main floor section (38), a main wall section (58) and a main roof section (56). When the building is extended, generally horizontal and planar, hingedly interconnected floor sections (36, 44) and roof sections (52, 54) extend from the main floor (38) and roof sections (56) respectively, and wall sections (82, 86) extend between the said sections. The wall sections (82, 86) comprise an end wall section (76), two first wall sections (86) and two second wall sections (82) which are hingedly interconnected similarly to a bellows. When the building is collapsed, the wall sections (82, 86) are located adjacent the main wall section (58), the roof sections (52, 54) are disposed vertically on a side of the wall secitons (82, 86) remote from the main wall section (58), and the floor sections (36, 44) are disposed vertically outwardly of the folded wall (82, 86) and roof sections (52, 54). The roof sections (52, 54) form a foldable roof system comprising a base ceiling member (96), trusses (98) and an outer roof member (100). The trusses (98) are parallel to each other and extend generally across and are hinged to the base ceiling member (96). The outer roof members (100) lie on chords of the trusses (98). Minimal vertical space is required for the collapsed roof system which enables a relatively high ceiling to be obtained, and yet still fit within the standardised container sizing.

Bâtiment repliable et transportable (20) pouvant être tassé pour adopter les dimensions extérieures des conteneurs de marchandises aux normes internationales (ISO) afin d'en faciliter le transport et la manutention mécaniques. Le bâtiment (20) comprend un support principal rigide possédant une section principale de plancher (38), une section principale de paroi (58) et une section principale de toiture (56). Quand le bâtiment est déployé, généralement sur un plan horizontal, les sections de plancher (36, 44) et les sections de toiture (52, 54), articulées et assemblées, s'étendent respectivement du plancher principal (38) vers la section de toiture (56). Les sections de paroi (82, 86) s'étendent entre lesdites sections. Les sections de paroi (82, 86) comprennent un élément d'extrémité de paroi (76), deux premières sections de paroi (86) et deux secondes sections de paroi (82) qui sont articulées et assemblées comme des soufflets. Quand le bâtiment est replié, les sections de paroi (82, 86) se placent de manière adjacente à la section principale de paroi (58), les sections de toiture (52, 54) sont disposées verticalement sur un côté des sections de paroi (82, 86) à une certaine distance de la section principale de paroi (58). Les sections de plancher (36, 44) sont disposées verticalement, extérieurement à la paroi repliée (82, 86) et aux sections de toiture (52, 54). Les sections de toiture (52, 54) forment un système de toiture repliable comprenant un élément de support de plafond (96), des armatures (98) et un élément extérieur de toiture (100). Les armatures (98) sont parallèles les unes par rapport aux autres et se prolongent généralement à travers le support de plafond (96) auquel elles sont articulées. Les éléments extérieurs de toiture (100) reposent sur les cordes des armatures (98). Il faut prévoir un espace vertical minimum pour l'ensemble à toiture tassé qui permet d'obtenir un plafond relativement haut tout en se conformant aux dimensions normalisées des conteneurs.
