A modular building structure, obtained by assembling a plurality of module frames to obtain a complex frame is provided. The structure includes walls and floors implemented by cladding panels, and the module frames have a substantially parallelepiped shape. The structure includes connecting knots joining module frames adjacent on a same plane, on the lower side or upper side, at angles, or which provides for the connection of the module frames to a basement or to a roof structure. Each knot has a box-like structure with an inner core shaped like a hollow straight parallelepiped, formed by six walls facing two by two, each wall has an opening that form respective channels opened according to orthogonal axes. At each opening, the knot includes a corresponding supporting plate, parallel or orthogonal therebetween; each supporting plate, extending beyond the plane defined by one or more adjacent supporting plates, defines a respective rest.

A modular building structure with relative integrated plants, as obtained by assembling a plurality of module frames to obtain a complex frame, allows associating ducts of one or more plants to the module frame. The module frames have a parallelepiped-like shape and are identified by beams joining in respective angles, including a plurality of connecting knots joining module frames adjacent to the angles; the adjacent beams of side-by-side module frames are spaced apart by the knots and the panels and are connected to the beams of the module frame thereto, so as to create an air gap. The integrated plants have a plurality of ducts arranged in the air gaps and in the through channels, which include, at edges or angles of the module frame, quick connections for connecting the ducts related to a module frame to those of another module frame placed side-by-side thereto.

Provided herein is an assembly for carrying or supporting a load. The assembly comprises a plurality of members connectable in an assembled arrangement for carrying or supporting the load. Each member comprises a first end and a second end, at least one of the first end and the second end has a pair of connecting members comprising two lugs that each has defined therein two holes. The lugs are configured for alignment with a corresponding pair of lugs formed on another member in the assembly. Fasteners extend through the holes formed in the lugs when the holes are aligned. Further provided are members for use in the assembly and connector elements for attaching two or more members in the assembly.

A full-moment column collar is disclosed, including four collar flange components and four collar corner components. Each collar flange component includes an upper transverse element and a lower transverse element, connected by a bridging member. Each collar corner component includes first and second expanses defining a corner and a standoff portion extending from the corner, the standoff portion having a distal T-shaped structure. Each collar corner component is configured to connect two adjacent collar flange components, and each collar corner component has a multi-axis alignment structure extending from a bottom end portion for vertically positioning a lower transverse element of a respective collar flange component.

An assembled structure includes a joint member including a first opening arranged on a first surface, a second opening arranged on a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a third opening arranged on a third surface adjacent to the first surface and arranged at a position corresponding to the second surface, a first frame member inserted into the first opening and having a first convex portion at an end portion in a longitudinal direction, a second frame member inserted into the second opening and having a second convex portion at an end portion, and a fixing member inserted into the third opening and fixing the first frame member and the second frame member.

The present disclosure discloses a building information modeling (BIM)-based modular housing built with thin-wall channel steel comprising foundations, columns, beams, walls, a roof plate, doors, and windows. The columns and transverse beams adopt inward-flanging C-section steel or combined square steel arranged by oppositely buckling symmetric inward-flanging C-section steel. The columns and foundations, the columns and transverse beams, adjacent transverse beams, the columns or transverse beams and slant beams, the transverse beams or slant beams and roof plate, and joints of adjacent supports are connected to each other together by base connectors, butting connectors, or crossed connectors. According to the technical solution of the present disclosure, the inward-flanging C-section steel can be quickly and securely butted, or combined square steel can be quickly and securely butted. The joint is provided with webs, and can be used as a standard connector due to high strength. Relief holes provided at the inner side of the joint are buckled with inward-flanges of the inward-flanging C-section steel to each other and pressed together, thereby realizing an internal-external nesting effect. A positioning groove arranged outside the joint and the inward-flanging C-section steel can be nested together in a concavo-convex manner, and then pressed and fastened by a fastening steel strip, thereby realizing effects of fastening and slippage prevention.

A modular framework having a plurality of elongate structural members interconnected by brackets is provided. Each of the brackets includes at least one tubular socket to receive a structural member, and an array of holes is provided on a face of the socket to permit connection of an attachment to the bracket to support ancillary components.

A method of forming a three-dimensional frame structure is provided. The structure includes a plurality of rigid wall panels that are adhesively secured to components of a system. The components are specially designed to allow for adjusting the dimensions of a wall panel. The method generally comprises providing a series of corner castings, and providing a series of linear extrusion members. The method also includes connecting the series of corner castings and the plurality of linear extrusion members to form a three-dimensional frame, and adhesively securing rigid wall panels to the three-dimensional frame to form the frame structure. The rigid panels may include porcelain ceramic tiles, natural stone tiles, or other panels.
