Abstract The construction sector activities contribute to irreversible effects on the environmental systems. New forms of are needed increase circular economy and sustainability within built environment. Steel‐concrete composite floors not demountable, because typical shear connection with welded studs is permanent. To avoid demolition promote reuse structural components, demountable systems need be adopted. This article presents a literature review different solutions an overview suitable design rules for such solutions.
