This paper presents a detailed review of research in the structural performance of modular buildings. Modular construction refers to 3D units that are fully fabricated in the factory and are assembled onsite to create complete buildings or parts of a building. This paper presents the advantages, different components, and materials used for modular construction. It also outlines the different load transfer mechanisms in modular buildings. The progress of research on the analysis of modular buildings under different actions is compiled, and conclusions are drawn based on available research. The authors suggest the use of cold-formed steel shear wall system as a lateral load resisting system owing to its specific advantages.
