Modular high-rises are attractive for metropolises, but few applications exist, partly due to the
lack of knowledge about their lateral behaviors. Existing concrete modular high-rises usually …

Recently, there is an increasing interest to develop modular multi-storey structures that can
be adapted to any use like hospitals, schools, housing, etc, characterized by versatility and …

Purpose The ascendancy of modular offsite construction (MOSC) over traditional
construction methods is well known. Despite the known potential of this construction …

In modular steel buildings, factory prefabricated volumetric modules are assembled onsite to
form permanent buildings. The inter-module connections provide a path for load transfer …

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

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

Modular building registers the advanced stage of construction industrialization and the
corner-supported steel modular building is the most widely applied. However, its structure …

This paper presents a numerical study on the collapse performance of 3-D MSB (modular
steel building) in four module-removal scenarios: removals of a single corner module, single …

Modular steel constructions (MSCs) are becoming increasingly popular because of their
advantages such as rapid construction speed, less demand for on-site labor, quick …

The rib stiffeners are usually used to reinforce the intra-module connections in corner-
supported modular steel buildings; however, may be conflicted with the internal wall panels …
