3d connector for modular construction of multi-story buildings

Abstract

The present invention refers to a connection system for the modular construction of multi-story steel buildings, that provides a single connection system that allows for the coupling of pre-made 3D cuboid modules, enabling efficient and cost-effective construction. The connection system is designed to withstand vertical and horizontal loads, ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the building, allowing for remote inter-module connectivity, optimising the usable space within the building, eliminating the need for direct access during construction, which is suitable for connecting eight modules at two-storey levels. The system is easily disassembled, allowing for reconfiguration or disassembly of the building. It also provides levels of horizontal and vertical tolerance, accommodating imperfections that may arise during fabrication and assembly processes. This is achieved through the fitting of connectors (4) inside joining blocks (3) which in turn fit into the inner part of the hollow section column (C).
