This paper presents and discusses the experimental and numerical results performed on a
3D modular steel frame under sudden corner support removal scenarios. A modular steel …

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 …

This paper investigates the progressive collapse behaviour of laterally braced steel modular
buildings under various column removal scenarios. Unlike the conventional building with …

Numerical analysis of robustness assessment of steel planar framed structures under
sudden external column removal is presented. The analysis is based on the previous …

This paper studies the dynamic response of corner-supported modular steel buildings with a
core wall system, under progressive collapse scenarios, associated with corner module …

In modular buildings made of volumetric units, robust structural action may be established by
considering various scenarios for localisation of damage, corresponding to loss of supports …

This paper presents a numerical study on the performance of the multi-storey steel frame in
sudden multi-column-removal (MCR) scenarios. The reliability of the numerical analyses are …

The semi-rigid behaviour of beam-to-column connections has an important effect on the
performance of steel frame. This paper proposes a multi-spring component (MSC) model for …

Due to different integration strategies and stability requirements, the robustness analysis of
multi-story modular buildings, made of volumetric units, requires collapse capacity analysis …

The present study extends a multi-hazard methodology presented previously by the authors
for evaluating performance of moment resisting frames subject to extreme lateral loads such …
