Finite element analysis of proposed self-locking joint for modular steel structures

The intermodular connection between modules plays a vital role in the overall performance of modular structures. The separation between a column and connection is possible due to the absence of links (welding or bolting) since limited space is available between modules. This study proposed a self-lo...

The behavior of the proposed connection subjected to monotonic load was evaluated using a finite element approach using ABAQUS software.
