Abstract: Compared with conventional buildings, the design of interconnections in multistory modular buildings requires special attention, due to different load distribution mechanisms, level of redundancy, integration strategies, ...

Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the experimental and numerical results performed on a 3D modular steel frame under sudden corner support removal scenarios. A modular steel frame was designed according to Australian ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computer-aided design method for conceptual geometric layout optimization of multispan RC beams for any type of dynamic responses. A key feature of the paper is the development of a new cost-optimization ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for cost optimization of the preliminary layout design of three-dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete (RC) frames. This approach is capable of being easily employed for the optimal ...

Abstract: This paper presents the findings of an experimental and numerical study on the system identification of modular steel frames in a laboratory environment. The project is a part of a broad study about the structural response ...
