Evaluation of practical steel waste disposal techniques in Malaysian construction sites

The construction industry is consuming substantial quantities of raw materials in processes, and it has a negative impact on the environment producing a huge amount of waste. Steel is one of the common wastes produced in the construction industry. These research paper analyses steel waste disposal t...
