1 TARIFF ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR MODULAR STRUCTURES Technical Area 5 The invention relates to a coupling used in the field assembly of modular structures in the construction industry. It is related to the system. The invention is particularly relevant for modular structures used in earthquake zones, where the modules are horizontally 10 and is related to the coupling system that ensures rigid connection in the vertical direction. State of the Art Modular building systems offer fast installation, cost advantages, and quality in the construction industry. These systems are becoming increasingly common due to reasons such as control. In these systems, structural elements They are manufactured in a factory environment and then transported to the site for assembly. However, the modules... some technical challenges encountered during the assembly and connection process in the field. It is available. In current systems, modules are usually joined together using welded connections or Temporary bolted systems are used. Welded systems are installed on-site by expert personnel. such as requiring, being sensitive to weather conditions and being difficult to control quality. It is disadvantageous for several reasons. Additionally, there is the risk of errors occurring during the sourcing process. Deformations can negatively affect the rigidity and safety of the structure. Bolted 25 These systems are generally used only for horizontal connections and not for vertical loads. It can be inadequate in terms of transfer. Especially in multi-story modular buildings, safe transfer of vertical loads and horizontal seismic forces between modules Transferring this information is of great importance. Current solutions transfer these loads directly to the foundation or the core system of the structure. It may be insufficient in transferring the signal, which puts the structural integrity at risk. Furthermore, In known systems, connection elements are generally of a single type, for the ground floor and mezzanine floors. It is not specifically optimized for different loading conditions. This is especially true for earthquakes. in these regions, it reduces the performance of the structure and modular systems are widespread 35 It restricts its use. 2 In conclusion, the problems encountered at the current technical level can be listed as follows: • The need for welding during field assembly cannot be eliminated. • Load transfer is mostly limited to the horizontal plane, • Insufficient availability of connection devices optimized against seismic loads, • 5 Differentiated, modular and rigid connection systems for ground and mezzanine floors It is not common. For the reasons mentioned above, the current technology requires rigidity in both horizontal and vertical directions. providing, and safely transferring, seismic loads to the foundation and core structure, A connection adapter is needed that does not require welding and simplifies assembly. 10 It is heard. In the literature review, an example of the current state of the technique is given. Document number TR2000 / 02522 can be shown. This document is modular. It relates to constructive, exhibition, building and infrastructure systems. The system in question includes profiles, connections 15 on elements, tensioning elements and purpose-built external materials It consists of elements used for connection. The system in question is basically... They rely on snap-in and tension connections. These types of connections are usually horizontal. It can transfer loads to a limited extent, and the document in question states that vertical loads are transferred to the foundation. Special anchoring or rigid connection mechanisms for safe transfer 20 It is not defined. It is also suitable for single-story or lightweight structures such as exhibition halls and temporary buildings. This system provides the rigidity, load transfer, and functionality required for multi-story modular structures. It does not meet the security criteria. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the current solutions are relevant to the 25 This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field.
