In this paper, we present the result of an analytical investigation concerning the demolition range for the pre-weakening of load-bearing wall in explosive demolition. Pre-weakening of load-bearing wall is usually conducted based on field experience because reliable specifications or guidelines for the design of pre-weakening have not yet been established in Korea. This study is one of the efforts to develop such a reliable specification or guideline for the pre-weakening process. Hence, the focus of the study is on the estimation of pre-weakening range of load-bearing wall. For the purpose, a finite element analysis (FE analysis) was conducted, and a pre-weakening range of load-bearing wall was suggested based on the analysis result.

The shaped charge is used in explosive demolition of steel frame structure, but it was often not used because it was limited to use or impossible to supply at domestic and foreign. To solve this problem, we needed a device that could generate matal jets using industrial explosive. In this study, we made a charging container, which metal jets were generated when explosives were detonated. Cutting performance tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of cutting of a charging container on a steel plate of 25mm thickness. In addition, we compared the results between the numerical simulation of penetration process and cutting performance tests and then was evaluated a cutting performance for steel plates of 35mm and 70mm thickness.

The importance of construction waste reusing and recycling is becoming increasingly large because the demolition industry is in current trend to pursue for sustainable growth. As the considering situation of the domestic housing construction and existing house, a scale of demolition industry is expected to be increased continuously. But the related cost regulations that are used in tendering in the demolition industry are insufficient, also the computer system for estimating the demolition costs have not been developed yet. Therefore, in this study suggests man-hours of 21EA items which are utilized to estimate demolition cost and work rate of $1.0m^3$ breaker which is used mostly in domestic demolition industry after analyzing a case study for deconstruction works. The computer system is developed for the estimating demolition cost easily, which are including five modules such as a project information, a unit cost management, a standard unit cost table, a bill of quantity, and a reporting system. This computer system is possible to apply for estimating cost of both mechanical demolition and blasting demolition. The biggest advantage of this system is to estimate cost to utilize standard WBS which is linked with standard unit table and each DB. This can help unskilled users use easily for it.

Locally damaged structures caused by earthquake or extraordinary external forces have been required to rapidly be dismantled because of its possibility of additional collapses. Particularly, steel frame structures were demolished by the shaped charge blasting method. Recently a research suggested a shape charge blasting technique which uses bent-shaped charge holder of copper plate and emulsion explosive charge to cut thick steel plates. This study simulated the cutting performance of the bent-shaped charge holder with considering types of explosives, thickness of copper liner and stand-off distances using LS-DYNA software. The shape charge blasting test of a 25mm thickness steel plate were used to calibrate the input parameters of the numerical models. The penetration depth and penetration width were analysed with different types of explosives, thickness of copper liner and stand-off distances.

Building demolition and blasting work in urban areas has a possibility which has an effect on the structural stability of nearby structures. In this study, the compressive strength and chemical composition of decrepit concrete materials were estimated by Schmidt rebound test and XRD phase analysis. The damage index of the concrete materials was calculated by measured P-wave velocities. It was revealed that the constituents of the concrete materials affect on the compressive strength. The damage index decreases with increasing compressive strength and decreasing impact energy.

The regular RC structures have been transformed into irregular RC structures by alternate load of RC structures during explosive demolition. Numerical simulation programs have contributed to a better understanding of large displacement collapse behavior during explosive demolition, but there remain a number of problems which need to be solved. In this study, the 1/5 scaled 1, 3 and 5 stories RC structures were designed and fabricated. To consider the collapse possibility of upper dead load, fabricated RC structures were demolished by means of felling method. To observe the collapse behavior of the RC structures during felling, displacement of X-direction (or horizontal), displacement of Z-direction (or vertical) md relative displacement angle from respective RC structures were analyzed. Finally explosive demolition on the scaled RC structures using felling method are carried out, collapse behavior by felling method is affected by upper dead load of scaled RC structures. Displacement of X and Z direction increases gradually to respective 67ms and 300ms after blasting. It is confirmed that initial collapse velocity due to alternate load has a higher 3 stories RC structures than 5 stories.

Progressive collapse analyses of high-rise buildings subjected to abnormal loading such as fires, impacts, earthquakes, typhoon, bomb blasts etc. are intended. However it is difficult to perform collapse experiments of the real scale building to determine the capacity of the structure under an extreme loading events. In this study, collapse behavior of a 15 story RC structure building loaded by external explosion pressures were simulated using Extreme Loading Structures (ELS) software. The standoff distance between the RC building and explosives of 1500 kg was 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 meters. The explosive demolition analysis techniques based on removal of partial support structures following blast scenario was adapted to investigate the transition process of progressive collapse-local damage.

This study simulated the shock wave propagation through the tamping material between explosives and hole wall at blasting works and verified the effect of tamping materials. The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE) method was selected to model the mixture of solid (Lagrangian) and fluid (Eulerian). The time series analysis was carried out during blasting process time. Explosives and tamping materials (air or water) were modeled with finite element mesh and the hole wall was assumed as a rigid body that can determine the propagation velocity and shock force hitting the hole wall from starting point (explosives). The numerical simulation results show that the propagation velocity and shock force in case of water were larger than those in case of air. In addition, the real site at blasting work was modeled and simulated. The rock was treated as elasto-plastic material. The results demonstrate that the instantaneous shock force was larger and the demolished block size was smaller in water than in air. On the contrary, the impact in the back side of explosives hole was smaller in water, because considerable amount of shock energy was used to demolish the rock, but the propagation of compression through solid becomes smaller due to the damping effect by rock demolition. Therefore, It can be proven that the water as the tamping media was more profitable than air.
