Abstract
Over the past few years, modular buildings have become an important form of environmentally friendly architecture. Prefabricated construction methods have gained a lot of attention because they produce less construction waste and require less labor and water. However, the seismic performance of modular buildings needs to be improved. This paper proposes a prefabricated steel module with a suspended floor, which is based on a multi-tuned mass damped floor system. This paper also derives the form of a motion equation which is unified with the construction process of modular buildings, which can describe the change law of the mass, stiffness, and damping matrix of the structure in the processes of connecting the main structure with the suspended floor slab and of joining different floors. Since the performances of tuned mass damping devices are closely related to the dynamic characteristics of the structure, this paper uses ABAQUS for numerical analysis and mathematical induction (MI) to propose and verify a simplified method for calculating the lateral stiffness of the entire story from a single module’s lateral stiffness. Based on the principle of reducing the stiffness difference in the structure along different directions, a standard scheme of the horizontal extension of the module building is also specified. The results show that the simplified calculation method is reasonable and that the lateral stiffness of the structure increases linearly with the number of modules. Finally, the recommended values for the tuned frequency ratio and tuned damping ratio are given by investigating the dynamic response of the structure under Gaussian white noise excitation. The results show that the recommended tuning frequency ratio and damping ratio ranges in modular buildings are close to those for FIS buildings.
