Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Reuse Limit State: Framework predicts reusable steel strength via explicit resistance factors. • Resistance Factors: Cover cycles, material, corrosion/fatigue, load change, extreme events. • Design Examples: Worked examples show 70–85% remaining strength after two reuse cycles. • Mixed Reuse: Protocol for combining steel members with different service histories. • Research Roadmap: Key gaps outlined to calibrate factors for codified reuse design provisions.
