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.

Mechanical Behaviors of Inter-Module Connections and Assembled Joints in Modular Steel Buildings: A Comprehensive Review

Buildings, 2023
Modular steel buildings offer the advantages of time-saving construction, reduced on-site work, and less resource waste. The mechanical behavior of modular connections is complex, depending on the type of connecting method and the load-transferring path.

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 ...

Anti-collapse resistance mechanisms in corner-supported modular steel buildings

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2020
Due to different integration strategies and stability requirements, the robustness analysis of multi-story modular buildings, made of volumetric units, requires collapse capacity analysis of various scenarios, corresponding to the loss of supports and ...

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 ...

Review of bolted inter-module connections in modular steel buildings

Journal of Building Engineering, 2019
Abstract In current practice, the force-displacement and moment-rotation behaviours of inter-module connections for modular steel buildings are established by a combination of theoretical, experimental, and numerical analyses. The simplified connection behaviour is then incorporated into a numerical model of the overall structure for analysis and ...

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 ...
