Abstract

Using reclaimed structural steel members on a project is an effective strategy to reduce the environmental impact of a building by eliminating the energy required to recycle steelwork into new structural sections. The RFCS-funded project PROGRESS (PROvisions for GREater reuse of Steel Structures) focused on single-storey buildings, and it identified various reuse scenarios, depending on the form of construction. It also showed how these structures can be designed to facilitate reuse of the structure or its primary components.
