Compared with conventional buildings, the design of interconnections in multistory modular
buildings requires special attention, due to different load distribution mechanisms, level of …

This paper presents the findings of an experimental and numerical study on the system
identification of modular steel frames in a laboratory environment. The project is a part of a …

The current standards for seismic design of cold-formed steel (CFS) structures are only
limited to the lateral force-resisting systems which are not appropriate for mid-rise …

In this paper, an RWS connection with an elliptic opening in the web is proposed, and its
performance is investigated through an experimental and numerical study. A full-scale …

Structural robustness assessment is a hot topic in the field of civil engineering. Although
many robustness researches have been conducted on hot-rolled steel, reinforced concrete …

In this study, a novel hybrid wall structure of a hot-rolled steel frame fabricated with a cold-
formed steel (CFS) composite wall is proposed. Ceramsite concrete is lightweight concrete …

In current practice, a relatively wide range of different interconnections and assembly
systems is being used for the design of modular buildings made of volumetric prefabricated …

The modal properties of modular structures, such as their natural frequencies, damping
ratios and mode shapes, are different than those of conventional structures, mainly due to …

Light steel framing systems are increasingly used in a variety of low-rise buildings, while are
gradually penetrating to the mid-rise residential construction. The increased demand for mid …

Even though CFS framed shear walls have been the subject of many research, test data on
walls sheathed with OSB panels on both sides using relatively small fastener spacing is …
