Seismic mitigation of steel modular buildings using novel inter-modular connections [PDF]
, 2020 This research proposes novel inter-modular connections to enable the safe and reliable performance of modular building structures under seismic actions. The proposed connections are designed to shift possible failure locations away from critical structural members to provide effective seismic mitigation.

Towards nZEB: modular pre-assembled steel systems for residential buildings [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2014 The recent EU Directives 2010/31 and 2012/27 provide for the standard of nearly zero energy buildings for new constructions, aiming at a better quality for the built environment through the adoption of high performance solutions. This challenge creates new opportunities for pre-assembled construction systems, offering high levels of performance, while ...
