The bending-deformation resistance of a proposed plug-in self-locking inter-module
connection was investigated. Firstly, bending tests were conducted on three foot-size plug-in …

This paper presents a novel approach for steel modular structures, incorporating the S-CN
connector–a hybrid tie rod and connector connection method–along with rectangular hollow …

This study aims to investigate the shear behavior of perforated steel plate (PSP) shear
connectors used in a novel modular steel channel–concrete composite floor (MSCCF) …

This study uses the non-linear static (pushover) analysis to investigate the lateral resistance
of mid-rise and high-rise composite modular buildings with out-of-verticality resulting from …

Modular bidirectional load-bearing and energy-dissipating joints (MBJs) can complete
adjacent module connections only by modular bidirectional load-bearing and energy …

The force transmission between steel module units is primarily achieved through inter-
module unit connections. However, the existing connections often fail to meet the installation …

Modular steel buildings (MSBs) consist of complete steel modules and inter-module
connections; the latter plays a crucial role in assembly efficacy on-site and in resisting the …

In modular buildings with container-like modules, the corrugated plates and the opening
conditions were proven to have significant influence on the module rigidity. But the effect of …

Interlocking Inter-Module Connections (IMCs) in Modular Steel Buildings (MSBs) have
garnered significant interest from researchers. Despite this, the optimisation of plate …

Modular construction is an alternative method to traditional construction that differs mainly by
its discretization of structural elements in modular forms and by three specific steps in its …
