| description | A modular steel structure building has obvious advantages in reducing construction period and protecting the environment due to its unique construction method, so it is widely used in modern construction. However, the modular building connection design and modeling are mostly based on the traditional connection research results. To address this issue, the paper developed a component-based model for novel modular connections with an inbuild component. First of all, the comprehensive parameter study was implemented using elaborate finite element models. Then the component-based model for novel modular connections was developed, and the force-deformation response of each component was determined using the finite element method. Thirdly, assembly of all components to overall rotational joint and the simplified finite element model of modular connections was obtained. Finally, comparison between simplified and refined finite element was conducted, the results showed that the proposed model can predict the mechanical behavior of modular building connections within the acceptable margin of error. |
