INTRODUCTION Demolition is the dısmantlıng, razıng, destroyıng or
wreckıng any building or structure or any part of building by pre-planned and controlled methods.
Demolition is bringing down the building and other structures safely.
The demolition of structure with the help of explosives is called as implosion.
The main objective for demolition may be the age of the structure.
Methods of demolition depends upon type of structure height and surrounding structures.

Prof. Ankit Patel
Demolition of the floor slabs shall begin at mid span and work towards the supporting beams.
BITS Edu Campus
14
Prof. Ankit Patel
Floor beams shall be demolished in the order of cantilevered beams, secondary beams and then main beams.
Wire and winch shall be used to secure the cross beam to other structural members.
The concrete is first broken away at both ends near its column supports to expose the reinforcement.
Reinforcement shall be then cut to partially drop the beam and the brought down with wire.

Prof. Ankit PatelBall and crane This is one of the oldest and most
commonly used methods for building demolition. A crane uses a wrecking ball, weighing up to 6120 kg, which is either dropped onto or swung into the element to be demolished.
The ball is made from forged steel, which means the steel is not cast into a mould in a molten state. It is formed under very high pressure while the steel is red hot (soft but not molten) to compress and to strengthen it.
Concrete members can be broken into small pieces, but secondary cutting of reinforcing may be necessary.

Advantages:1) To demolish roofs and other horizontal spans.2) The wrecking balls are still used when demolition may not be possible due to local environmental issues or asbestos/lead building content.
Disadvantages: 1) It demands a great deal of skill from the crane operator.
2) The height of a building that can be demolished is limited by crane size and working room; however, buildings as high as 20 stories have been demolished.3) The breakup process can cause considerable dust, vibration and noise which may be objectionable.

Prof. Ankit PatelDismantling Selective or complete
demolition of concrete structures is possible by cutting elements and then removing them with a crane.
The cutting process may be by sawing, water jetting or thermal lance.
Because the surface of the cut concrete is smooth and relatively regular, these methods have particular application when the objective is partial demolition, for instance in the creation of openings in walls and slabs.

Prof. Ankit Patel
Cutting with a water jet minimizes dust and eliminates vibration and fire hazards. An abrasive and water-catching system is required to clean up during the jetting process.
Hydro demolition uses a high pressure supersonic water jet, that penetrates the pores and cracks of the concrete and builds up an internal pressure. When this pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete, the concrete breaks.
The water jet can be used not only for cutting straight lines but also contours, a useful feature for cutting access manholes.

Prof. Ankit Patel A thermal lance is created by packing a seamless mild steel
tube with low carbon rods and passing oxygen through the tube.
While this method eliminates vibration and dust problems, it creates other hazards associated with smoke and fire danger.
Whether sawing, jetting or lancing is used to dismantle the structure or its components, each element must be safely lowered to the ground.

Prof. Ankit Patel
1) Dismantlement of building components, specifically for re-use, recycling, and waste management.2) Reducing disposal costs where waste collection, hauling or disposal is supported by the tax base.3) Building components that are dismantled will need to be stored in a secure, dry location. This will protect them from water damage and theft.
Disadvantages of Dismantling method:1) The amount of time and cost of labor are the main drawbacks.2) Harvesting materials from a structure can take weeks, whereas demolition may be completed in roughly a day.3) Toxic waste such as asbestos sheets and lead paint have no resale value so they are discarded.

Prof. Ankit PatelC. Pneumatic and hydraulic breaker
A common piece of equipment used for demolishing bridge decks, foundations and pavements is a hydraulically or pneumatically operated, boom-mounted breaker.
The advantages of a machine mounted breaker may include a telescoping boom for easy reach and, remote control operation and underwater demolition capabilities
Some of the smaller remote- controlled machines can be lifted through window openings and used inside a building to demolish floors and walls.
Productivity can vary greatly depending on hammer size, type of concrete, amount of reinforcing and working conditions.

Pneumatic hammer
A jackhammer is a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel. Hand-held jackhammers are typically powered by compressed air, but some use electric motors.Electric powered tools come in a variety of sizes from about 12 lbs - 65 lbs. They require an external power source, but do not require a compressor.

31
Prof. Ankit Patel
Hydraulic breaker
A hydraulic jackhammer, typically much larger than portable ones, may be fitted to mechanical excavators or backhoes and is widely used for roadwork, quarrying and general demolition or construction groundwork.
They are used in mines where there is an explosion risk since they lack any high-power electrical circuitry that might cause a triggering spark.The jackhammer is connected with hydraulic hoses to a portable hydraulic power pack: either a petrol or diesel engine driving a hydraulic pump

Prof. Ankit Patel
1) The hydraulic breakers have tremendous power output also means they are the most power efficient, getting the most work out of the available energy.2) A properly used and maintained hydraulic machine can last for a long time.3) Pneumatic breakers are simpler tools with fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance.
1) They require power, fuel or battery for their work.2) They tend to be the most expensive types.3) They require an external power source.

Prof. Ankit PatelD. Pressure bursting Pressure bursting can be used in cases
where relatively quiet, dust-free, controlled demolition is preferred.
Both mechanical and chemical pressure bursting split the concrete, either with a splitting machine operating on hydraulic pressure provided by a motor in the case of mechanical bursting, or through the insertion of an expansive slurry into a pre-determined pattern of boreholes in the case of chemical bursting.
The split concrete is then easily removed, either by hand or by crane.
Both methods work by applying lateral forces against the inside of holes drilled into the concrete.

Prof. Ankit PatelE. Explosives Introduction In the controlled
demolition industry, building implosion is the strategic placing of explosive material and timing of its detonation so that a structure collapses on itself in a matter of seconds, minimizing the physical damage to its immediate surroundings.
Despite its terminology, building implosion also includes the controlled demolition of other structures, such as bridges, smokestacks, towers, and tunnels.
Numerous small explosives, strategically placed within the structure, are used to catalyze the collapse. Nitro-glycerine, dynamite, or other explosives are used to shatter reinforced concrete supports.
RDX-based explosive compounds expand at a very high rate ofspeed, up to 27,000 feet per second (8,230 meters per second)

Blasting methods employ rapidly expanding gases confined within a series of boreholes to produce controlled fractures which provide for easy concrete removal.
For the demolition of concrete structures it is usual to drill holes at a predetermined angle into the concrete to be removed.
Implosion is the strategic placing of explosive material and timing of its detonation so that a structure collapses on itself in a matter of seconds, minimizing the physical damage to its immediate surroundings.
The technique weakens or removes critical supports so that the building can no longer withstand the force of gravity and falls under its own weight.

Prof. Ankit Patel Pre-blast Considerations The design may include pre-weakening of the structure, the
strategy in placement of the explosives and time delay so that the building will collapse in a safe manner.
Pre-weakening of the structure may include cutting out a portion of the shear walls and other structural elements.
A test blast may be conducted to verify the strength of the structural member and to fine tune the explosive design.
Protection of the adjacent properties and habitats is also an important consideration.

Prof. Ankit PatelWrapping of holes: The wrapping of holes is done to ensure that due to explosion of charges the debris does not fly in air. For this purpose, the holes were covered with gunny bags and iron net after placement of explosive and detonators.
BITS Edu Campus
42
Prof. Ankit PatelBallasting:Ballasting of Charges / Explosives work are carried out in a controlled manner such that there will be a time gap of 1/100 second between two successive blasts. The trigger of charges is done in such a control manner so that the noise pollution and air pollution should be minimum.Falling of structure: Once central support/column will be destroyed and adjoining columns will be weakened, due to its gravity the entire mass will come down on its footprints

Prof. Ankit PatelCONCLUSION
It can be concluded that demolishing/imploding the building structure will prove very useful, economical and quickest for reconstruction.
Leads to a safe and controlled demolition for the occupants and neighbourhood.
Development in techniques allows rapid demolition with no harm to the environment.
