Building a more Modular Future
2020The completed projects are proving the sector can deliver demonstrably higher quality, with reduced defects and improved building performance, and with greater choice of layout and specification offered to customers. The engagement from government and signs of changing attitudes to innovation from some of the larger housebuilders could be an early ...

Building modular legal knowledge systems
Expert Systems with Applications, 1992Abstract A practical legal knowledge system must be versatile and capable of supporting many fundamentally different aspects of the lawyer's work. In this paper a general framework for building knowledge systems from distinct but communicating modules is proposed.

Implementation of building informational modeling in designing multi–story modular building
Russian Journal of Construction Science and Technology, 2023The paper discusses features of employing BIM for designing modular building, using the Steel2Real'23 competition as a case study. The Steel2Real'23 student competition, organized by the Association for the Development of Steel Construction, seeks to enhance the usage of steel in construction.

Lateral resistance of multi-story modular buildings using tenon-connected inter-module connections
, 2020In this paper, the lateral performance of multi-story modular buildings is investigated with the effect of a tenon-connected inter-module connection being taken into account. The inter-module connection consists of tenons and through-beam bolts to resist

A hybrid coupled wall system with replaceable steel coupling beams for high-rise modular buildings
, 2020Modular construction has been widely adopted for low-to-medium-rise buildings. However, there are concerns about the wind and seismic resisting performance of high-rise buildings if adopting the modular approach, which inhibit the wider adoption of ...

Structures, 2020
Modular construction has been widely adopted for low-to-medium-rise buildings, but fairly limited for high-rises. A particular knowledge gap resides with the lateral force resistance of modular high-rises. Most such buildings adopt cast-in-situ cores for

Simplified structural behaviours of post-tensioned inter-module connection for modular buildings
, 2020When designing modular buildings, the structural behaviour of the inter-module connections (IMCs) must be simplified so they can be incorporated in the structural model.

Modular retrofitting approach for residential buildings
2023Residential buildings are one of the crucial energy consumers. The vast majority of the existing buildings require urgent retrofitting due to the very poor thermal insulation properties of their external building envelope. There are many building retrofitting technologies available on the market.
