ABSTRACT
The amount of construction materials consumed by the construction industry is increasing annually. The large amount of greenhouse gas emissions is largely attributed by the production and transportation of these construction materials. In order to lower the negative influences on the environment, measures such as reducing and reusing construction materials have been encouraged (Uy, 2014). Compared with other construction materials, structural steel can be recycled many times without compromising or loss of material properties before being recycled (WintersDowney, 2010). Due to this unique advantage, structural steel buildings can be disassembled into various components and reused under proper guidance.
