In stability analysis of steel frames, the effective length method requires the calculation of the
K-factors, which can be difficult and subject to error in many moment frame configurations …

For the structural response estimations of modular steel buildings, the shear, axial and
moment-rotation behaviours of the inter-module connections are normally simplified and …

Establishing suitable probabilistic seismic demand models (PSDMs) is a key part of the
probabilistic performance-based method. Intensity measures (IMs) are used as a connection …

Compared to traditional onsite steel construction, prefabricated industrial steel construction
(PFISC) saves time, money, and resources. It results in sustainable steel structures that use …

Progressive collapse can be defined as a cascading phenomenon in which an initial failure
is followed by the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, is followed by further …

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 …

Due to different integration strategies and stability requirements, the robustness analysis of
multi-story modular buildings, made of volumetric units, requires collapse capacity analysis …

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

A highly efficient implementation of machine learning (ML) framework is developed for
assessing the dynamic increase factor (DIF) used in nonlinear static analysis (pushdown) …

Corner-supported modular steel building, made of volumetric units, is an efficient
construction system for the next generation of industrialised building construction. The …
