A-State-Of-The-Art review on modular building connections

Modular Building System (MBS) is an emerging offsite construction technique, which uses prefabricated units, transported, and assembled onsite. In MBS process, designing stage considered as the most significant stage. One of critical concerns in MBSs to maintain ensure structural integrity assembly against loading conditions. Connections a crucial part off-site construction, plays prominent role providing essential performance for MBS. Hence, it indispensable analyse existing connections used industry investigate benefits limitations their application construction. A thorough study on connection types will evaluate capabilities addressing functional requirements exhibit potential serve benchmark range future modular techniques. Thus, this paper presents review various forms inter-modular systems contemporary industry. It covers automation disassembly units; architectural, structural, constructional challenges faced by using them; under different addition, numerical studies performed selected intermodular model also presented, investigating, validating mechanical behaviour justifying applicability such models predicting behaviour. Finally, based review, suggestions address modern obstacles adding new information literature then overcome wide adoption are presented. The outcome assists overcoming encourages growth and/or techniques building
