Abstract: Pseudo static tests of four full-scale edge joint specimens are implemented to study the seismic performance of joint in panelised modular steel structure. The hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity, deformation and energy dissipation capacity of joints are evaluated based on the measured load-displacement data. Furthermore, the failure modes and the effect of different variables on seismic performance of joint are analyzed. The test results show that failure modes of the joint include column wall bulge, connector deformation and beam flange local buckling. The hysteresis curves of CT2, CT3 and CT4 exhibit plump shuttle shape, the maximum equivalent viscous damping coefficients are 0.21~0.25, the ultimate storey drift angle reaches 0.07~0.09rad, indicating the joint has excellent seismic performance and rotation capacity. Thickness of column wall in panel zone and angle steels would affect the seismic performance of joint significantly, vertical-splicing bolt type has a remarkable effect on the hysteretic performance and initial flexural stiffness of joint. The results provide technical support for the engineering application of the joint in panelised modular steel structure.

Key words: panelised modular steel structure; prefabricated joint; seismic performance; ultimate storey drift angle; hysteretic performance
