A bolt-fastening method was invented for connecting prefabricated modular structures with a purpose of reducing production cost and enhancing delivery efficiency of precast structures by eliminating welding parts. In order to remove welded connections, a drawing part and a bending part were designed and bolted together to easily generate a long support structure. The bolt-fastened structure had a plate deflection of similar magnitude to that of the welded structure, and weighed about 2.5% less. The heat supplied inside the structure for concrete curing had a negligible effect on the deflection of the structure. Since the unit module is only 640 mm long, and welding is eliminated from production to export local assembly, and the long structure is completed only by fastening, significant reductions in shipping cost and local labor cost are expected.
