This article provides an in-depth review on the understanding of load transfer mechanism in
concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, with emphasis on tube-concrete interface …

Although a significant advantage for modular steel buildings (MSBs) is suitable for rapid
construction, the unexpected installation error and initial defects of components in the …

Attributable to the superiority in construction speed and quality, modular steel constructions
(MSCs) have been increasingly used for mid-to-high rise buildings with repetitive units. An …

Based on the idea of damage control, a new type of replaceable damper, namely
earthquake-resilient prefabricated column-flange beam-column joint (PCFBCJ), is proposed …

Abstract Steel Hollow Sections (SHS) offer many structural, economical and architectural
advantages in multi-storey and high-rise construction. However, their use is not suitable for a …

Traditional reinforced concrete columns have demonstrated poor seismic performance
especially in corrosive environment as the reinforcement bars experience severe corrosion …

Precast construction of structural buildings requires connection techniques that can shorten
the process using only simple on-site activities while still guaranteeing adequate strength …

Concrete-encased concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns have been applied in some
real structures in recent years, where they were connected with reinforced concrete (RC) …

This study presents the findings of comprehensive numerical and experimental programs on
unstiffened extended end-plate connections (UEECs) having thin plates and large sized …

Compared to conventional steel construction, modular steel construction (MSC) is different.
Instead of having a high degree of connectivity, the modules are connected at their corners …
