This paper presents the development, implementation, and validation of a macro-element
suitable for the linear analysis of innovative 3D plug-and-play joints between tubular …

A rectangular hollow section (RHS) is compact and has remarkable structural performance,
and therefore, RHS tubes are regarded as efficient column members for building steel …

Most structures are tri-dimensional, ie develop along three directions, because of their basic
function of providing a protected enclosure for people and goods. Many structural schemes …

Modular construction has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its various
benefits, including faster construction time, reduced on-site work, automated production, and …

Abstract The European Research Project “Innovative 3D joints for robust and economic
hybrid tubular construction” aims at developing innovative plug‐and‐play joints for hybrid …

This paper discusses the design of steel structures using 3D structural models and
incorporating the 3D behaviour of the joints. Firstly, the implications of the 3D behaviour of …
