Buildings play a crucial role in global electricity consumption, but their function is evolving.
Rather than merely consuming energy, buildings have the potential to become energy …

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 …

Although prefabrication is considered a sustainable construction technology that can reduce
various construction waste, research on its potential for concrete formwork waste reduction …

Abstract Modular Building System (MBS) is an emerging offsite construction technique,
which uses prefabricated units, transported, and assembled onsite. In MBS construction …

Despite the advances of modular construction, the comprehensive understanding of its
technical aspects in buildings is still limited, especially during the implementation process …

The use of lightweight modular construction becomes increasing popular all around the
world today. The benefits of off-site prefabrication include consistent quality, shorter …

Modular constructions are off-site prefabricated structures with transportable units
assembled on-site. These units are linked together using mechanical connectors called …
