Resumen

Modular steel buildings show high assembly degree and fast installation speed. The inter-module connection (IMC) is one of the key technologies that restrict the robustness of modular steel buildings. An innovative IMC with a cross-shaped plug-in connector is proposed, and the connection consists of end plates of columns, the cross-shaped plug-in connector, bolts, cover plates, and one-side bolts. The proposed IMC is easily constructed, and the cross-shaped plug-in connector can improve the shear resistance of the core area. The mechanical model of the proposed IMC is presented, and the panel zone volume modified factor and initial rotational stiffness modified factor are proposed for calculating the shear capacity of the panel zone and the initial rotational stiffness. Numerical simulation was conducted considering the influences of axial compression ratios, sections of beams and columns, and the thickness of the tenon plate of the connector. The bearing capacity of the proposed IMC was analyzed, and the values of the two factors mentioned above were calculated, and their regression formulas are presented. The results show that the sections of beams and columns and the axial compression ratios show great influences on the bearing capacity of the proposed IMC, while the thickness of the tenon of the cross-shaped plug-in connector shows almost no effect. In addition, the sections of beams and columns show great influences on the shear capacity of the panel zone, as well as the initial rotational stiffness of the proposed IMC, while the thickness of the tenon of the cross-shaped plug-in connector and the axial compression ratios show little effect and almost no effect, respectively. Furthermore, the bending moment limit of the beam end of the proposed IMC is suggested to be 0.6 times the resistance bending moment, and the proposed IMC is considered to be a rigid connection or inclined to a rigid connection The proposed IMC has good mechanical performance, and design recommendations are presented.
