Summary
This study presents the development process of high-rise modular systems for residential
buildings. The vertical stacking construction methods of unit modular frame systems for low-
rise buildings by simple column connections in the vertical load transfer should be modified for
consideration of lateral loading due to wind and earthquake as the height of the buildings
increases. Mega-bracing systems and floor diaphragm truss systems are adopted to meet the
design criteria for the high-rise modular systems subjected to such lateral loads. This study
investigates feasibility of possible lateral resisting subsystems including core wall systems and
plane lateral bracing systems. The subsystems involve concrete core systems, steel bracing
systems, and mega truss systems to connect with unit modular systems. The comparison study
shows that mega-truss systems compatible with unit modular systems from the view point of
construction sequence show structural efficiency. The assembly sequence of various modular
units of frames and bracings critical to the minimization of field works depend on the connection
design satisfying for different requirements. The proposed connection for these requirements
must be satisfied with the structural performance and the ease of fabrication. To increase the
integrity of whole modular systems a unique connection system of four blocks is proposed for
structural performance with four parts of unit frames against lateral loading.
Keywords: high-rise modular system, lateral loading, mega-bracing, connection block, floor
diaphragm.

1. Introduction
Recently, increasing demands for sustainable buildings require design criteria for reusability of
construction material and easy dismantlement of connections of structural and non-structural
components It is a main concept for sustainable buildings how to recycle the materials of existing
buildings and new building to be constructed. To this end with these trends, modular building
systems have had several advantages, including shorter construction periods and reusability of up to
90% of steel modular frame units by relocation. Therefore, the efficiency of modular building
systems depends on how to connect components to be disassembly as much as possible. To extend
the application of modular designs to various residential and commercial buildings, several feasible
connections of subsystems for high-rise modular building systems to meet the requirement of the
lateral resistance performance have been proposed. This study begins with the design of structural
systems of 12-story modular systems. The key factor pertaining to the intended level of
performance of a modular building system depends on the structural performance of its connection.
Thus, the ultimate goal of this research is to investigate the performance of the proposed
connections for the modular systems and to extend the application of the connections to other
