MICADO is a modular construction system for dwellings, proposed and developed by a Portuguese construction startup. In brief, it consists of building the dwelling envelope using prefabricated panels. The panels come pre-finished and include adequate thermal insulation. They have a width range between 300 mm to 1200 mm. Each panel is vertically perforated to assist with its on-site assemblage, and accommodate the structural components. The solution allows a wide range of architectural solutions, as well as multiple size openings (e.g., doors and windows). The present paper aims to propose a structural solution for the MICADO construction system. Considering the modular building requirement and using prefabricated panels, assembling a particular type of column-to-beam connections and structural behavior under gravity and seismic loads should be investigated. The structural solution is formed by steel pipe, box, and L-shaped prefabricated profile columns, steel H-shaped pro-file beams, and a steel-deck composite floor. The panels are assembled in the steel profile columns. For this purpose, a twofloor MICADO dwelling is analyzed and designed using numerical modeling, and the structural performance is evaluated. The results show valuable insights into the design and construction of the MICADO method as a steel-based modular structure. 5066COMPDYN 2023 9 th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering M.

“…However, it should be emphasized that modularity in construction is an appropriate approach to the development of design solutions, and should provide flexibility in the operation of a building during its life cycle [5,6]. A number of scientific works are devoted to this problem, in which much attention was paid to solving the problem of modularity; various new types of connections of building structures are proposed [7][8][9][10][11], as well as innovative building materials [12].…”

This article considers the distribution of the pressure coefficient on the surface of a modular house model in order to further assess the possibility of operation of a thermosyphon solar collector integrated into the external protection. The experiment was planned to estimate the factors influencing the value of the aerodynamic coefficient. The results of experimental studies conducted in a wind tunnel are presented. The obtained graphical dependences were compared with the results of computer simulations and convergence was evaluated.

PurposeIndustrialized construction has brought about expectations of improved productivity in the construction industry. However, the lack of a commonly accepted definition has created confusion regarding the types of development covered by the industrialized construction umbrella. These inconsistent definitions convoluted the discussion on this phenomenon. This study aims to clarify the definition of industrialized construction through a systematic literature review.Design/methodology/approachThis systematic literature review was conducted according to PRISMA principles. Records were gathered from Scopus and Web of Science. Following the scientometric analysis, content analysis was conducted according to the template analysis approach.FindingsThe analysis of 121 articles revealed four main themes related to industrialized construction: 1) the construction concept, 2) construction methodologies, 3) systematization, rationalization and automatization and 4) societal and industrial change processes. Definitions of industrialized construction can be analyzed with seven clusters: 1) prefabrication, 2) standardization, 3) sector, 4) integration, 5) manufacturing practices, 6) technological investment and 7) none. Based on the content analysis, the proposed definition is: industrialized construction is the adoption of practices that minimize project-specific work in construction from the start of the design to the end of the building’s life cycle.Originality/valueThis study proposes a definition for industrialized construction following content analysis of broadly sampled literature. The proposed definition can provide a basis on which developments in the construction industry can be reflected.
