The module-to-module bolted connection is an effective way of meeting the need for rapid
assembly of modular buildings. This paper presents a discussion of five full-scale tests …

The lack of guidelines for determining the rigidity of inter-and intra-module joints in corner-
supported steel modular integrated construction (MiC) buildings can lead to unsafe or over …

Corner-supported modular steel buildings (CMSBs) are mainly composed of repetitive room-
sized modules and inter-module connections. However, there is a lack of relevant …

The inter-module connection of modular steel building components is key to ensuring the
integrity and stability of modular steel buildings. To tackle the existing technical problems of …

This paper introduces an innovative three-piece boltless connection for assembly of
volumetric building units or modules in multistory modular buildings. The proposed …

Modular building is an innovative and sustainable construction method and a notable
architectural, engineering, and construction trend. Owing to the new constructability and …

Modular steel construction (MSC) consists of the off-site prefabrication of a fully finished
module and the on-site assembling of the module unit. The popularity of MSC is on the rise …

Inter-module connections (IMC) are a research focus closely related to the robustness of
steel volumetric buildings (VB). Many IMC have been proposed by numerous researchers …

This paper presented a feasibility study on a self-centring connection with two energy
dissipation stages for use as a combined inter-module and intra-module connection in …

Recently, in the building and infrastructure fields, studies on defect detection methods using
deep learning have been widely implemented. For robust automatic recognition of defects in …
