Abstract :
[en] This research database compiles experimental and documented information on demountable structural connections used in circular building construction, developed at the Sustainable Building Design (SBD) Lab at the University of Liège. The dataset systematically documents reversible connection systems in timber, steel, and concrete structures, with the objective of supporting Design for Disassembly (DfD), adaptability, and structural component reuse in buildings. It includes information on connection typologies, geometric parameters, mechanical performance characteristics, and reversibility potential relevant to modular and panelized construction systems.

Technical description :
The database comprises the analysis of demountable timber, steel, and concrete connections compiled by the Sustainable Building Design (SBD) Lab at the University of Liège, which documents connection types, reversibility characteristics, and reuse potential to support Design for Disassembly (DfD) assessment in circular construction.
