Steel fabricators and connection designers in the building construction industry often rely on traditional connection design methods, which involve using connection design software or spreadsheets to simulate and design connections with the goal of minimizing costs associated with fabrication and...

Residual stresses can have a significant impact on the stability of structural members. In the case of I-section beam elements, such stresses can impact lateral--torsional buckling (LTB) capacity, particularly in the inelastic range. I-sections are typically fabricated by either rolling as a single

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
