As　one　of　practical　solutions　for　sustainable　construction,　deconstructable　steel　structures　have　increasingly　gained　attention　by　either　academia　or　industry,　which　are　beneficial　for　full-life　cycle　performance　in　terms　of　overall　cost,　environmental　protection　and　ability　of　re-use.　Development　of　innovative　and　adequate　configurations　of　connections　and　joints　are　essential　for　such　advanced　structural　system.　This　paper　reviews　briefly　research　advances　on　the　deconstructable　steel　structures,　including　steel-concrete　composite　beams,　beam-to-column　joints,　column-to-column　joints,　as　well　as　structural　systems.　Development　of　blind　bolt　products　for　achieving　the　deconstructable　connections　is　also　reviewed.　Finally,　a　new　type　of　blind　bolted　connection　adapted　from　conventional　high-strength　bolts　is　introduced,　of　which　the　shear　performance　under　static　loading　is　described　experimentally,　and　its　application　cases　are　discussed.　The　work　presented　herein　may　improve　the　development　of　deconstructable　steel　structures　and　promote　their　practical　application.　Copyright　©　2018　by　The　Hong　Kong　Institute　of　Steel　Construction.
