註釋
Iron and steel production is responsible for a significant environmental impact, contributing the third highest CO2 emissions in the United States in 2016. To show one option of shifting towards a more sustainable built environment, this research explores the reuse of structural steel. Reuse of structural steel as primary load members in new buildings is presently rare, despite reduction in CO2 emissions and other environmental advantages that could be achieved via this practice. The main concern preventing this is the lack of information about the stress history of a steel member during the member's service life. These concerns are most significant during construction, when fit-up issues, temporary loadings, and variable support conditions throughout the construction process may cause force effects to differ from designers' expectations, and in connection areas where localized stress concentrations occur.
