WHAT IS
DEMOLITION?????
Demolition
means dismantling, razing, destroying
or wrecking any building or structure or any part
by pre-planned and controlled methods.
Demolition is the tearing-down of buildings
and other structures
WHY DEMOLITION????
The structures which have already passed their
design life need to be reconstructed, for safety
and operational requirements.
The old structures need to be demolished for
replacement by new structures.
Small structures can be demolished by
manual methods but machinery and advanced
techniques are required for demolition of bigger
structures.
Advanced techniques are also required for
faster demolition and demolition in confined
areas.
DEMOLITION SEQUENCE
Demolition sequence shall be determined based on
Actual site conditions, Restraints, The building layout,
The Structural layout and its construction.
In general, the following sequence shall apply:
1) UTILITIES disconnection.Electricity,plumbing water
lines, drainage, connections etc..
2)All cantilevered structures, canopies, verandahs
and features attached to the external walls shall first
be demolished prior to demolition of main building
and its internal structures on each floor
3)When demolishing the roof structure, all lift machine
rooms and watertanks at high level shall be
demolished in top down sequence to the main roof
level
DEMOLITION SEQUENCE
3)Demolition of the floor slabs shall begin at mid span
and work towards the supporting beams.
DEMOLITION METHODS
Demolition methods used
commonly are
Manual Method
Using machines
Using Hydraulic Crushers
Using Wrecking Ball
Using Explosives
Using Robotic Machines
MANUAL METHOD
Manual methods are carried out top down,
proceeding, in general, from the roof to ground.
The sequence of demolition may vary,
depending on
1. site conditions and
2. structural elements to be demolished.

Demolition
Waste
CONCRETE:
Cost of aggregates
Disposal costs
Environmental damage
Consumption of natural resources &
Valuable landfill space
On site crushed
concrete used for
backfill
BRICK:
o Broken & discarded brick can be used as
construction infill or as aggregate for non-structural
concrete.
o Brick that are part of demolish rubble can be
crushed and used in the same way.
o Brick masonry rubble contains mortar upto
20% by volume.
o Crushed brick & roofing tiles are the bulk of
demolition waste which were earlier being dumped
in landfills, but now they can be recycled into mortar
plaster & building blocks.
TIMBER:
o It is mostly crushed into chip & used as fuel.
o It can also be utilized to manufacture wood-chip
concrete by injecting cement grout into voids of
compacted wood-chips in moulds.
o Wood-chip concrete can be used as building
material.
o This chip can be sawn & nailed as well.
o In Japan alone about 12 million cubic meters
of used timber from demolished houses are used.
SANITARY WARE:
o Sanitary ware includes tiles also.
o There can be reused as it is, if they are not
damaged.
o If sanitary ware are chipped (or) cracked(or)
otherwise damaged are advised to crush and
use them as construction infill (or) as filler in
concrete.
o Pozzolanic value of such crushed & powdered
sanitary ware, is a desirable property in
concrete mixes.
GLASS:
STEEL:
o Steel is most commonly used metal in the world.
o Steel reinforcement from demolished concrete
is usually separated from the rubble on site &
sold scrap to recycling plants.
o The world produces over 783 million tons of
raw steel. It currently recycles over 320 million
tons of iron & steel every year.
o Scrap metal can yield energy savings of upto 76% .
o In Europe steel is most recycled .
PLASTIC:
o There is an over abundance of waste plastic.
o It is very difficult to dispose plastics.
o Waste plastics can be shredded & used as
filler in other materials such as concrete
& also in construction of roads
o House hold plastic waste can also be recycled
to obtain artificial light weight aggregates
for mortar.
o Plastics reduces the possibilities of cracking.

Conclusion:
It has been established that materials & components from
demolished buildings are being reused for new construction
works as
well as renovation projects, especially by low- income
communities in
developing countries.
In developing countries most of the demolition rubble is
dumped, the
developed world has now started to recycle it into aggregate
for nonstructural concrete.
It is hoped that recycling waste materials for use in the
building will
cut down costs of producing new raw materials thereby
To Landfill
To Recycle
