In the recent history the development of inter-module connection (IMC) systems for steel
modular building systems (MBSs) has gained traction with many researchers and engineers …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the experimental methods for inter-module
joints (IMJs) in modular buildings. For the structural response, three levels of study are …

The module-to-module bolted connection is an effective way of meeting the need for rapid
assembly of modular buildings. This paper presents a discussion of five full-scale tests …

This paper presented a feasibility study on a self-centring connection with two energy
dissipation stages for use as a combined inter-module and intra-module connection in …

Corner-supported modular steel sway frames (CMSFs) with rotary inter-modular connections
(IMCs) differed from traditional frames regarding their column discontinuities, beam …

Prefabricated volumetric modular building (PVMB) technology is an emerging technology
that can make the construction industry walk towards sustainability by reducing the emission …

This study examines the compressive behaviors of sway column-supported steel modular
interior frames (SCSMIFs) using rotary-type vertical and horizontal inter-modular …

This paper presents a numerical study on the collapse performance of 3-D MSB (modular
steel building) in four module-removal scenarios: removals of a single corner module, single …

Module-to-core wall connection for assembling modules to the core wall system plays a key
role in transferring loads in modular high-rise buildings. However, its mechanical …

The rib stiffeners are usually used to reinforce the intra-module connections in corner-
supported modular steel buildings; however, may be conflicted with the internal wall panels …
