Finite Element Analysis Of Complex Vectorbloc Beam-Column Connections, Labiba Kalam
Finite Element Analysis Of Complex Vectorbloc Beam-Column Connections, Labiba Kalam
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Steel modular construction provides an efficient alternative to traditional construction practices. A key component to modular construction is the connection between the individual modules, which hold the building together against applied loads such as gravity, snow, and wind. The VectorBloc connector is an innovative cast steel connector that is used in the connections between steel modules made from hollow structural steel (HSS) members. The current VectorBloc connector, called VB4, is limited in its uplift capacity and thus faces challenges when applied to structures facing high uplift forces. Thus, a new design of the VectorBloc connector, called VB6, with a focus …
