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 …

Modular steel buildings (MSBs) have achieved considerable popularity in multi-to-high rise
constructions due to the favorable mechanical characteristic, eco-friendliness, cost …

Modular steel construction (MSC) is a construction mode where volumetric modules are
prefabricated in a factory and assembled on-site to form permanent buildings. Inter-module …

This paper investigates the progressive collapse behaviour of laterally braced steel modular
buildings under various column removal scenarios. Unlike the conventional building with …

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 …

Structures in modular buildings typically have some unique characteristics as compared with
conventional structures, eg, discrete connection of modules through inter-module …

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 …
