Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

In the recent history the development of inter-module connection (IMC) systems for steel
modular building systems (MBSs) has gained traction with many researchers and engineers …

Previous studies on the influence of boundary constraints on the structural collapse behavior
have primarily focused on single-story sub-assemblages, and the limited research on multi …

High-rise steel modular buildings are normally designed and constructed using a structural
system that consists of cast-in-situ concrete for the stability core and steel-framed volumetric …

Over the past few decades, increasing awareness of the need for more resilient
infrastructure has led to a great increase in the amount of research being performed on the …

This paper explores the important roles of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns and
inter-module connections on the structural robustness of composite modular buildings …

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 …

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

The module-to-module bolted connection is an effective way of meeting the need for rapid
assembly of modular buildings. This paper presents a discussion of five full-scale tests …

Progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) building due to column failure can cause
human casualties and severe irreparable damage or total collapse of the building. Different …
