Experimental study of an innovative modular steel building connection

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2017
Abstract In modular steel building (MSB) built by unit-prefabricated on-site assembled construction method, connections are critical parts that can strongly influence the overall structural stability and robustness of the MSB. Previous MSB connections mainly use intermediate connecting plates, which may pose practical difficulties to certain modular ...

Seismic evaluation of modular steel buildings

Engineering Structures, 2016
Abstract Modular steel construction is a relatively new construction technique that considerably reduces the time spent on the construction site. However, due to the detailing and assembly requirements of multi-story modular steel buildings (MSBs), these systems are prone to undesirable failure mechanisms during large earthquakes.

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Modular Steel Buildings

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2009
Contemporary seismic design is based on dissipating earthquake energy through significant inelastic deformations. This study aims at developing an understanding of the inelastic behavior of braced frames of modular steel buildings (MSBs) and assessing their seismic demands and capacities. Incremental dynamic analysis is performed on typical MSB frames.

Robustness of corner-supported modular steel buildings

2023
Modular Steel Buildings (MSBs) are gaining prominence as an efficient and sustainable construction method worldwide. Despite their rapid adoption, the lack of a specific structural design standard for MSBs remains a notable gap. Research efforts, though made, have not adequately explored the broader behavior of MSBs in extreme scenarios, particularly ...

Experimental study on interior connections in modular steel buildings

Engineering Structures, 2017
Abstract In modular steel buildings, traditional architectures are separated into prefabricated room-sized volumetric units that are manufactured offsite and installed onsite. The connections between the modules are important for load transfer. Conventional inter-module connections mainly use direct plates and connect them using bolts; however, this ...

Seismic Overstrength in Braced Frames of Modular Steel Buildings

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2008
The seismic behavior factor, R, is a critical parameter in contemporary seismic design. In the 2005 edition of the National Building Code of Canada, the R factor consists of ductility related force modification factor, Rd, and overstrength-related force modification factor, Ro.

Analytical and Design Method for the Global Stability of Modular Steel Buildings

International Journal of Steel Structures, 2021
Modular steel buildings (MSBs) are an innovative form of prefabricated buildings with many advantages related to the factory-manufactured construction process. However, technical issues in the global stability design remain ambiguous and induce either unsuitable or uneconomical results without understanding the effect of intermodule connections ...
