Analyses of Structural Robustness of Prefabricated Modular Buildings: A Case Study on Mid-Rise Building Configurations

The limited knowledge of the behaviour modular buildings subjected to different loading scenarios and thereby lack design guidelines hinder growth construction practices despite its widespread benefits. In order understand robustness building systems, a case study was carried out using numerical analysis method evaluate ten-storey braced frame with systems. Two types modules span lengths were used in assessments. Then, three column removal involving (1) corner column, (2) an edge (3) interior employed assess cases considered. forces generated elements close proximity removed verified each analysed. results showed that change damping ratio from 1% 5% has no significant influence on considered, where zero-damping leads collapse. Corner not considerably affected studied. axial capacity columns is 0.8 dynamic removal, while reached up 1.2, making it most vulnerable failure scenario. Doubling (from 2.5 m 5 m) influenced by increasing 30% Thus, this highlights proper should be made available systems effectively against progressive
