    Abstract

    A large amount of construction materials are consumed by the construction industry annually. Production and transportation of these construction materials contribute significantly to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Measures for lowering the negative influences on the environment can be achieved by reducing and reusing construction materials. Steel column-baseplate connections are one of the most important and commonly used structural elements in steel frames. This paper aims to investigate the demountability of steel column-baseplate connections under monotonic loading. The effects of material and geometric nonlinearities were included in the developed model. It is demonstrated that the developed finite element model can accurately predict the initial stiffness, ultimate bending moment capacity of steel column-baseplate connections. The validated finite element model is thereafter extended to examine the effects of various parameters on the behaviour of steel column-baseplate connections. The effects of these parameters on the demountability of steel column-baseplate connections are further studied.
