This study aims to understand the extreme load performance of modular buildings, which has had limited research, by conducting a comprehensive study on performance requirement of modular buildings under service/extreme loads and accordingly develop an innovative structural connections for modular connection.
The outcomes of this comprehensive study are expected to provide quantum improvements on the current modular construction industry through fast on-site assembly, in-life adaptation to service/extreme loads, post-life disassembly, and affordability. This will assist in the future development and application of fully-modular superstructure construction systems for multi-story modular buildings.
