safety helped in growing the interest of designers and contractors toward modularization. Although there is wide agreement on modularization benefits to the construction industry, the transition to these new building techniques requires research and understanding of the structural behaviour of modular
innovative modular steel lateral load resisting system (LLRS) that can be integrated with the modular system to help in improving construction efficiency, while offering a safe and satisfactory structural performance. A new modular steel system for multi-storey buildings is proposed in this research project
. Two types of modules, gravity and braced, were introduced to carry gravity and lateral loads, respectively. The members and connections were selected based on availability in the market, structural performance, transportation constraints, and fabrication and erection benefits. The proposed braced

Estimation of Ground Reaction Force Based on Computer Vision and Mobile Sensing for Floor Vibration Assessment
DownloadFall 2024
Floor vibrations caused by human activities, such as walking and running, should typically be addressed during the design phase. However, post-construction evaluations often fail to revisit these vibrations. This gap suggests a need for ongoing assessments to ensure that ...

Premature corrosion of reinforcing steel is a cause of concern for steel-reinforced concrete structures, since it causes them to deteriorate before their design operational life is attained. The Use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete (RC) structures has been shown to...
