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 …

The world has seen a surge in rigorous study efforts on the progressive collapse of
structures in the past few decades. These events have led to new standards and provisions …

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

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 …

Modular integrated construction (MiC) adopts room units that integrate maintenance
structure, decoration and equipment pipelines in the factory-made modules, resulting in a …

Low computational efficiency and non-linearity behaviour make the simulation of the overall
building structure problematic to attain with a single dynamic or static method. Thus, this …

Corner-supported modular steel sway frames (CMSFs) with rotary inter-modular connections
(IMCs) differed from traditional frames regarding their column discontinuities, beam …

The limited knowledge of the behaviour of modular buildings subjected to different loading
scenarios and thereby lack of design guidelines hinder the growth of modular construction …

This study examines the compressive behaviors of sway column-supported steel modular
interior frames (SCSMIFs) using rotary-type vertical and horizontal inter-modular …
