This investigative study explored the potential of a novel approach called the modular insulated concrete core—advanced and optimized panelized production system (MICADO) method within the realm of modular structures, focusing on its parametric development. By combining frame-supported modular systems with premanufactured panels for exterior walls, the MICADO approach allows for simultaneous installation, and has demonstrated promising prospects. This research investigated the challenges associated with assembling and connecting MICADO structures in the face of seismic and gravity loads. Through rigorous worst-case scenarios, critical load combinations were identified and analyzed. The outcomes of this research provide valuable insights into the design of joints in MICADO structures, ensuring their overall structural integrity and stability. These findings have the potential to benefit professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction, equipping them with effective techniques and best practices for creating resilient modular structures. Ultimately, this work seeks to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and safety within the domain of built environments.
