| Abstract |
This paper proposes a reuse system of building steel structures to reduce environmental burden: specific steps to establish this system are also described. The reuse system mentioned in this paper is an overall business system for realizing a cyclic reuse flow through the processes of design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, demolition and storage. In order for structural members to circulate as reusable members in the distribution system, it is necessary to establish a venous industry; as opposed to an arterial industry which would be responsible for production and supply of newly manufactured members. This venous industry is to facilitate the disposal, recycling and reusing of the products from the arterial industry. |
