Modular steel construction (MSC) comprises off-site manufactured volumetric modules and
on-site assembly, leading to reduced construction periods, improved quality, and reduced …

Corner-supported steel modular buildings were constructed using volumetric modules with
the inter-module connections at their corners and similar connections to foundations. The …

The recent technological advancements achieved in modular construction have accelerated
the trend of building taller self-standing steel modular building systems (MBSs), leading to a …

This paper investigated experimentally the progressive collapse risk of three one-third scale
single story, two-bay steel frames under column-loss event. Progressive collapse was …

Modular building is an innovative construction method and imposes unique assembly
requirements. Modular structures may exhibit different global responses and unexpected …

Steel frame structures with ordinary weld connections often suffer from brittle fractures; to
mitigate this issue, measures have been taken to integrate plastic hinges and improve the …

This paper investigates the influence of unreinforced masonry panels on the robustness of
multistory buildings under sudden column loss scenarios. A recently developed multilevel …

Seismic connections with high ductile capacity are generally considered to be effective for
resisting seismic loads. However, additional studies are still needed to evaluate the …

Modular steel construction (MSC) consists of the off-site prefabrication of a fully finished
module and the on-site assembling of the module unit. The popularity of MSC is on the rise …

The catenary action associated with significant second order effects plays an important role
in resisting additional loads when structural column is destroyed under unexpected loads …
