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 …

The conscious and efficient reuse of historic buildings has turned out to be a fundamental
point of European programs for the management and conservation of the Architectural …

Three full-scale cruciform specimens are created and subjected to low-cycle reciprocal
loading to examine the novel blind bolted connection joint. The mechanical properties of the …

Volumetric building (VB) is a type of off‐site construction to move towards high productivity
construction. Literature review shows that there are only few models for upstream feasibility …

Modular or offsite construction is believed to shape the future of the construction industry as
it possesses significant benefits over traditional onsite construction methods. However, most …

This article presents the results of experimental studies of the stress–strain state of
volumetric blocks based on the underlying frame structures. The aim of the research is to …

Modular steel buildings show high assembly degree and fast installation speed. The inter-
