Current modular building designs use a cast steel connector called VectorBloc for its intermodular connection.This cast steel connector enables high precision in the installation, however, this connector relies on highstrength socket head cap screws (SHCS) for vertical connection. This research aims at developing aself-connecting connection in the VectorBloc connector to eliminate the use of high strength cap screws.Specifically, this project will design, fabricate, test, and develop a self-connecting cast steel connection formodular steel buildings. The outcome will help eliminate the use of SHCS which require an expensive anddifficult preloading process while helping the construction industry increase efficiencies of builds.

目前的模块化建筑设计使用一种称为VectorBloc的铸钢连接器进行模块化连接。这种铸钢连接器的安装精度很高，但是，这种连接器依赖于高强度内六角螺钉（SHCS）进行垂直连接。本研究旨在开发VectorBloc连接器中的自连接连接，以消除高强度帽螺钉的使用。具体而言，该项目将设计、制造、测试和开发用于模块化钢结构建筑的自连接铸钢连接。该结果将有助于消除需要昂贵且困难的预压过程的SHCS的使用，同时帮助建筑行业提高建筑效率。
