    This document summarizes a conference paper that evaluates connection systems used in modular construction. The paper introduces commonly used connection systems in different types of modular construction. Modular buildings aim to optimize materials while forming comparable spaces to conventional construction, offering faster installation benefits. Modules transfer gravity loads and resist lateral loads through module-to-module connections, which must be strong enough to transfer loads between modules and accommodate building deformation. The paper explores limitations of structural systems and module connections that restrict modular buildings to shorter than 7-8 stories typically, and suggests improved connection systems providing desirable strength, stiffness and ductility, such as distributed isolation systems.

    Modular buildings are developed as an alternative to conventional on-site construction


    because of more predictable costs and faster construction. While the use of modular buildings is
    increasing rapidly and this construction system is becoming more popular, research activities on
    structural components and materials used in modules, analysis and design methods and connection
    systems in the modular building are needed and are continuing. Modular construction aims to
    optimize the use of materials, while forming spaces comparable in size to conventional
    construction and to offer benefits of installation speed. The modules act as the primary structural
    system of the building, while another stabilization system such as stair or elevation core can be
    used as well. Modules transfer gravity loads and resist lateral loads through the module-to-module
    connections. Therefore, the connections must be strong enough and have inherent ductility to
    transfer loads from one module to another and accommodate building deformation under gravity
    and lateral loads.
    The presentation will introduce commonly used connection systems in several types of
    modular construction. As modular systems are seldom used in high-rise building construction and
    because of limitations of structural and module-to-module connection systems, they are rather used
    in shorter than 7-8 stories. The presentation will explore the nature of these limitations and offer
    suggestion for improved structural-connection systems that provide desirable levels of strength,
    stiffness and ductility. In particular, the presentation discusses the possibility of using distributed
    isolation system as one option in such solution schemes.
