| Abstract: |
Reuse of structural steel is uncommon despite significant environmental advantages that could be achieved via this practice. The most commonly known reason for this fact is the lack of information about stress history in used structural steel members. To address this deficiency, prior to construction, selected steel members of a steel-framed building were instrumented before they are delivered to the construction site. Continuous strain data was collected during the entire erecting process of the new building using a wireless sensor network to obtain novel information on construction-induced stresses. The collected data will be used to assess the magnitude of construction induced stresses. These stresses are assumed to deviate from design assumptions the most and are therefore the greatest concern for reusing structural steel. |
