Applying "Design for Disassembly" to connection design in steel structures
Design for Disassembly (DfD), also known as Design for Deconstruction, is an emerging initiative of sustainable construction that favors disassembly over demolition, considering a building's full life cycle during the design phase to maximize the materials that can eventually be salvaged for reuse …

Selection and evaluation of joint types and joining processes for concurrent assembly/disassembly-based design
In designing products, Design-for-Assembly (DFA) has been successfully used for several decades to reduce lead times, processing times, and equipment overhead. Though the DFA approach results in products which are easy and efficient to assemble, such products may be difficult to disassemble and/or …
