Controlled Demolition: Under The Guidance of Associate Prof. Dr. K. Kumar

The document discusses controlled demolition through the strategic placement and detonation of explosives. It describes how every structure has a service life after which it becomes dangerous. Controlled demolition, also called building implosion, is the quickest method of demolition and involves pre-weakening the structure through drilling holes and inserting explosives. The sequence of controlled demolition involves surveying, removing hazardous materials, preparing a plan, safety measures, pre-weakening, drilling holes, inserting explosives, detonating, cleaning up. It is less expensive than other methods and suitable for multi-story structures. A case study on chimney implosion using 75.22kg of explosives is also discussed.

Introduction
2

Every structure is designed for a certain span or


service life after which the existence of the structure
becomes dangerous.
Controlled demolition
3

 It is the strategic placement of explosive materials


and timing its detonation so that the structure
collapses in itself in a matter of seconds.
 Also known as building implosion.
Methods to demolish a structure
4

 Manual methods
 Demolition by machine
 Demolition by wrecking ball
 Demolition by explosion
Steps before demolition

 Clean up
Advantages
19

 It is less expensive
 The quickest method
 Suitable for multi story structures/ piers / bridges
etc
Disadvantages
20

 Dust
 Noise
 Vibration
Case study – chimney implosion
21

 Chimney height – 31.5m


 Explosive used – 75.22kg
 Detonation fuse – 100m
 Detonator delay – 0 to 25ms
Conclusion
22

 This type of demolition depends on various factors


such as site conditions, type of structure, age of
building, height of building and economy
 This method of demolition proves to be very useful,
economical and quick comparative to other methods.
 Development in techniques allow rapid demolition
with no harm to the environment
 It can also be used to demolish bridges, piers etc.
