Modular construction is a relatively new concept of constructing buildings and other infrastructures. It is similar to building a toy house using LEGO-style building blocks. Using the modular construction method, the blocks of a real building are built offsite (in a factory) and shipped to a construction site to be put together. The modular construction method is a much cheaper and faster alternative to traditional onsite construction methods. It ensures better quality control on constructions since a significant amount of the construction work is completed in the factory under strict supervision and quality control. When the building's blocks reach the construction site, they are put together using easy-to-use but strong and durable connectors. Such connectors, namely Vectorbloc and Megabloc connectors, are being developed by VectorBloc Corp. These connectors and the connection method are being developed for constructing various buildings and other structures using hollow structural steel (HSS) members, often known as steel tubes. Steel tubular members are not commonly used in current constructions even though they have many advantages over commonly used hot-rolled steel members. In the proposed research project, beam-to-column connections using such connectors will be tested in a lab and simulated using a computer modeling technique. Upon successful completion of the research project, a concept design of an innovative modular steel construction method will be validated through sound research at the University of Windsor under the supervision of Professor Sreekanta Das. This modular construction technique will be a cheaper and faster alternative to other construction methods. It is believed that the new modular construction method will revolutionise the construction industry through the use of steel tubular members. The industry partner of this research project, VectorBloc Corp., will be able to implement and expand their construction business rapidly, and will thus be able to create new job opportunities at various skill levels, ranging from construction personnel to engineers, boosting Ontario and Canada's economy.

模块化结构是建造建筑物和其他基础设施的相对较新的概念。它类似于使用乐高风格的建筑块建造玩具屋。使用模块化施工方法，真正建筑物的块是异地（在工厂）建造的，并运到建筑工地以进行放置。模块化构造方法是传统现场施工方法的便宜，更快的替代方法。由于严格的监督和质量控制，工厂在工厂完成了大量的建筑工作，因此确保对建筑的质量控制更好。当建筑物的街区到达建筑工地时，它们会使用易于使用但坚固耐用的连接器将它们放在一起。此类连接器，即矢量BLOC和MEGABLOC连接器，是由VectorBloc Corp开发的。这些连接器和连接方法正在开发用于使用中空结构钢（HSS）成员建造各种建筑物和其他结构，通常称为钢管。钢管构件在当前结构中也不常用，即使它们比常用热滚动钢构件具有许多优势。在拟议的研究项目中，将在实验室中测试使用此类连接器的光束到柱连接，并使用计算机建模技术进行模拟。成功完成研究项目后，在Sreekanta Das教授的监督下，将通过温莎大学的合理研究来验证一种创新的模块化钢结构方法的概念设计。这种模块化构造技术将是其他施工方法的便宜，更快的替代方法。据信，新的模块化建筑方法将通过使用钢管构件来彻底改变建筑行业。该研究项目的行业合作伙伴VectorBloc Corp.将能够迅速实施和扩展其建筑业务，因此能够在各种技能水平上创造新的就业机会，从建筑人员到工程师，促进安大略省和加拿大的经济。
