This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the tensile and
compressive behaviour of a novel U-connector in the cold-formed steel (CFS) truss-to …

With the growing demand for sustainable, cost-effective and overall-efficient building
solutions, the need for dependable modular construction systems is steadily on the rise. In …

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 …

The flexural behaviour of two types of asymmetric bolted square hollow section (SHS)
splices is investigated in this paper. The asymmetric bolted SHS splices are derived from the …

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 …

Tubular structures are rather efficient systems due to the ease of fabrication, erection, and
the high strength-to-weight ratio of their elements. However, they have seen limited use due …

With the rising necessity for sustainable, economic and fast construction solutions, reliable
modular construction systems are increasingly in demand. This paper presents a novel …

Abstract Characterization of the column web under out‐of‐plane tension or compression
(CWOP) is required for the application of the component method to the design of joints in …
