Research abstract:The world steel demand and production are constantly growing parallelly to the world economic
growth. Even though steel is fully recyclable, there is still a vast amount of virgin production which put
tremendous pressure on the natural scarcity of natural resources. Steel recycling only mitigates the
impacts since it alone requires a significant amount of energy (including re-manufacturing process) and
it produces more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Therefore, assumptions suggest that the market
of reclaimed material will play a progressively more important role in the future. This research paper
presents the limitations which currently make the reuse scenario very unlikely to occur excluding
industrial uses which is a relatively narrow sector. Through this, it will investigate the relevance of onsitu frame structural reconfiguration as a potential alternative for demolishing steel frame buildings
