Sustainable Performance of a Modular Building System Made of Built-Up Cold-Formed Steel Beams

Modular Building Systems (MBS) offer numerous benefits in terms of productivity, sustainability and safety. Therefore, MBSs are considered as a viable option to sort out the housing crisis Britain well drive towards sustainable construction. Development materials, manufacturing techniques, connection types structural designs with respect offsite construction is essential achieve goals. Recent advancements steel manufacturing, including Cold-Formed Steel (CFS), have showed potential performance compared concrete timber. Meanwhile, research was conducted enhance capacities CFS sections by introducing different cross-sections, composite techniques optimization. Built-up were developed connecting more than one channel section, various studies assess their performances. However, built-up modular constructions still unknown. Hence, this paper intends develop an MBS using for better performance. Literature review carried on economic, environmental social aspects. In addition that, numerical analysis performed investigate flexural capacity screw arrangements address aspects novel sections. The description, results validations also stated. Numerical revealed that improved up 156% those single Finally, utilization enhancement addressed illustrated conceptual diagram.
