DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2021.112614
Abstract: Abstract In steel modular buildings, both inter- and intra-module connections can attract bending moment under the action of lateral loads. The moment is distributed in accordance with the relative stiffness ratios among the structural components… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app10228186
Abstract: The strength capacity of modular buildings is determined by the weakest part, and connections between modular units are often weaker than the modular units themselves. Thus, to verify the safety of modular structures, the structural… read more here.
