Modular construction is an economical and efficient construction that reduces time and costs by manufacturing units in factories and constructing them on site. Currently, the demand for modular construction is increasing not only abroad but also domestically. As the demand for modular construction increases, a lot of development and research on connections between modular units are being conducted. Connections between modular units should be quick and simple to assemble when assembling units on site, and should be in a form that allows each unit to be connected regardless of direction. In addition, it must be able to exert sufficient strength against external loads. In this study, a connection between modular units using connecting steel plates and bolts was proposed, and the nonlinear behavior of the connection to external lateral force was analyzed through finite element analysis, and resistance performance was evaluated.

This paper presents a study on the construction method of modular pier system using CFTs. Modular Pier System consist of various prefabricated modules and is constructed by assembling components. Research scop include development of standard modules for adjustable to various height, connection between modules, and test bed construction. For the evaluation of this systems’s performance, Many numerical and experimental studies were conducted. In this study, we develop rapid construction system for site application of modular pier.

At present, the actual condition is that Korean modular structures are limited to a low rise detached house and military barracks. And there is no standardized structural design method of stacked modular structure. Accordingly, in general, they don't review impact force in the stage of stacking and installing a module, the effect which wind load has on a structure in the stage of lifting, and inertial force occurring in the stage of lifting or transporting a module in the process of constructing a structure. Therefore, this study investigated the construction method of modular system to be studied in stages, and decided on the position to which load was applied and boundary condition in structural analysis at each construction stage. Besides, inertial force according to each speed was calculated in the lifting and wheeled transport of module. And we calculated impact load according to lifting speed in module stacking and installation work and wind load due to instantaneous wind speed in the installation work by lifting. On the basis of the suggested method, in the modular system to be studied, it carried out review of structure by changing determining conditions of load being applied by construction stage, such as in the stage of lifting, in the stage of transport, and in the stage of installation, and drew construction conditions securing stability structurally.

In case of Enlargement method using Post-installed Anchors, mechanical expansion anchors were resisting tensile and shear force of Modular extension structure in exist building. The purpose of this study is to investigate cyclic load shear strength of Post-installed Anchor on 16 MPa low strength Concrete under less than standard effective depth(hef). The fracture pattern of the specimens in cyclic load shear tests was steel failure of anchor and the strength showed 19% less than that of the design strength on test anchor manufacturer.

Recently, modular technologies have been developed in nuclear power plant structures and bridge structures. In addition, they can be utilized in the underground structure of near surface transit system. In this study, the research and development plan of the modular slab structure and construction technology for near surface transit system described.

In this study, the mock-up test of a girder-type precast module was conducted for evaluated construction applicability. Results of mock-up test, girder type precast module`s process of manufacturing and transport, fabrication, installation was satisfied the construction application.
