Abstract: This study investigates the seismic performance of built-up steel tubular (BST) columns composed of four mild-steel plates welded to four ultrahigh-strength steel (UHSS) tubes of Grade 1200, presenting a novel concept in ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative three-piece boltless connection for assembly of volumetric building units or modules in multistory modular buildings. The proposed connection comprises a vertical connector and an ...
