ABSTRACT

Modular steel structure is a highly integrated prefabricated structure. With its factory-based production and modular assembly characteristics, it has been widely used in the construction industry. This article analyzes the advantages and construction points of steel structures, and explains the advantages of modular steel structures and the classification of modular nodes. Finally, it analyzes the shortcomings of existing modular nodes and the development trend of future modular steel structures.
