Abstract:
In this article we discuss the precarities induced by the threat of home demolitions in occupied Palestine. Drawing on fieldwork from four separate sites, the discussion begins by showing how the threat of demolition exposes Palestinians to a powerfully affective future of a violence that will arrive at an uncertain time. From this we develop the notion of ‘affectual demolition’ to describe how the anticipatory affective dimensions of demolition structure the present and the ways that precarities are embodied in Palestinian communities living under the threat of demolition. The discussion then moves on to further consider how anticipatory affects relate to different practices, including ways of acting on and against induced vulnerabilities and insecurities. We thus argue that the continued threat of home demolitions evokes precarities that are (politically) induced and (ontologically) productive and that they hold significant world-making and -annulling capacities.

Abstract:
Publicly-funded demolition of vacant structures is an essential tool used in shrinking cities to eliminate nuisances and, often, reduce vacancy rates. Concerning the latter, however, when shrinking cities implement large-scale demolition programs independent of complementary planning efforts, it is reasonable to expect impacts on vacancy to be negligible. Among other reasons, demolition operates only on the outflow of existing vacant structures and largely fails to grapple with inflows that add to vacancy over time. This article evaluates an ambitious demolition program in Buffalo, NY, USA, that sought, explicitly, to lower the municipality’s overall vacancy rate. Evidence from statistical changepoint models and Granger tests suggest that, while Buffalo’s overall vacancy rate, measured as undeliverable postal addresses, appeared to decrease around the time of the program, the drop was not linked to elevated demolition activity. The same finding holds for the subarea in which demolitions were spatiotemporally clustered. Although this lack of efficacy is potentially because the city failed to demolish its targeted number of structures, we argue that the likelier explanation is that demolition was not part of a holistic planning strategy. These results have important implications for using large-scale demolition programs as standalone vacancy management policies in shrinking cities.

Abstract:
Thousands of buildings in Cleveland, Ohio were demolished or rehabilitated since the Great Recession in the 2000s. Recent evidence suggests removing vacant and decaying buildings reduces violent and firearm-involved crime. This study examines the dose-response relationship between demolitions, rehabilitations, and crime. We use Bayesian spatiotemporal models to estimate the association of interest for five types of crime outcomes: violent crimes, violent crimes involving a firearm, drug crimes, and crimes often associated with building vacancy. We estimate associations in quarterly time periods from 2012 through 2017 in 569 hexagons approximately the size of a neighborhood (2000 feet, approximately 610 m, in diameter), stratified by vacancy level. Across vacancy levels, the majority of our models do not identify statistically significant associations between demolition and rehabilitation dose and crime incidence. However, in some cases, we identify positive associations between demolition and crime. These associations generally appeared at higher levels of demolition (2 or 3 or more demolitions) in areas characterized by medium to high levels of vacancy. We also find that the presence of a property rehabilitation is associated with an increase in drug crimes in areas with medium levels of vacancy.

Abstract:
The article addresses special conditions sanctioning demolition of buildings and structures erected without a permit on the state-owned land parcel restricted for construction according to the Georgian legislation and the practice of suspension of enforcement proceedings of similar resolutions by the court. It reviews the regulation envisaged by part 4 of Article 25 of Product Safety and Free Movement Code, according to which buildings constructed on state and/or self-governing unit-owned land parcels are subject to demolition and an appeal of the resolution on demolition does not suspend its enforcement. Despite the above, within the procedural legislation, the court suspends the enforcement process in the part of demolition. The article assesses the prospective of placing such buildings and structures within the legal framework in the future (compliance with the general plan, functional zoning, rules of development and use of the territory), i.e. their eligibility for obtaining a permit in deciding on the suspension/non-suspension of the demolition enforcement process. In Georgian practice, this factor is not accen­tuated by the construction control body when making a resolution on demolition, nor does the court evaluate it, which is the most significant circumstance in the process of making and enforcing such type of resolutions. Examples from the Polish and German practice where a permit allowing illegal buildings and structures to be admitted (as complying with the substantive con­struction law) is one of the most significant preconditions for making a resolution regarding demolition are presented and discussed. The circumstances to be considered in the course of suspension by the court of demolition of buildings and structures illegally constructed on state and/or self-governing unit-owned land parcels are also described, and legislative changes/ amended regulations for the sake of avoidance of procrastination of such type of demolitions have been recommended.

Abstract:
Abstract With new knowledge on current trends in construction and demolition, circular design strategies can be adapted to recent developments in construction, thereby providing knowledge about the potential for reducing global warming, resource consumption, and the amount of construction waste. By examining data from public registers on historical demolitions and building statistics, it is possible to examine the patterns in demolished buildings to uncover which building factors may influence whether buildings are demolished or renovated. In the following, data from demolitions in Denmark will be linked to data for newly built and existing buildings. The results show that factors initiating demolition are distributed differently between high- and low-population areas. Furthermore, the increase in new forms of construction means that circular design strategies such as reuse, recycling, and adaptive reuse can only cover a small proportion of the need for new construction.

Abstract:
The present research has been conducted to trace the various effects of Mosul city demolition waste materials (DMs), on the geotechnical properties of clay. The properties of the samples have already been investigated and evaluated. Moreover, cement has been added to upgrade these properties. Finally, the fine demolition has been added to a highly expansive soil selected from the site of the University of Mosul to reduce the swelling potential. In fact, the experimental work includes: The Abrasion, index and compaction properties, swelling and strength of stabilized and treated expansive soil. The laboratory tests include the testing of consistency limits, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), compaction (standard and modified), swelling, consolidation, and Abrasion test by Los Angeles Machine. The Results show that, increasing the old and new demolition (OD and ND) percentages lead to a decrease of liquid limit and plasticity index of clay, respectively. The increase in maximum γdry for the clay has been noticed when the OD and ND content has been added from 5 to 25%. A reduction of optimum water content (opt) for clay was optimized also by increasing the demolitions percentage to 25%. Also, the UCS strength values of the clay have been increased by increasing the demolition materials (DMs) percentage from 5 to 25%. The odometer characteristics, including the swelling and consolidation of DMs-clay mixtures, were controlled mainly by the type of the demolition. The final result indicates that the presence of old and new demolition waste could improve the clay engineering properties of the stabilized soil. Untreated and cement treated (OD) and (ND) materials could be successfully used as a base or sub-base for road.

Abstract:
The C&D waste sector is the only sector in which waste generation has increased in Australia, and most recent data shows WA diversion of C&D waste from landfill to be 57% [1, 2]. This is low compared to countries such as Japan and the Netherlands which achieve diversion rates of 97% and 95% respectively. In addition to this, the extraction and production of raw construction materials can result in large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions which are harmful to the environment. The reuse and recycle of C&D materials can help to alleviate both problems and as such WA’s transition towards a circular economy is of high importance to the current waste industry. The aim of this study is to identify barriers and opportunities which contribute to a higher rate of reuse, recycle and recovery in best practice demolition, and the transition towards a circular economy in the C&D sector of WA. The Hamilton Senior High School (HSHS) demolition was chosen as a case study due to the use of best practice demolition techniques, including onsite crushing activity and direct recycle/reuse. The four objectives achieved under this study include: 1. Gain an understanding of current issues or innovations within the C&D waste sector; 2. Identify the waste contribution of the HSHS demolition to the WA waste stream and stockpiling, and if this could be further improved; 3. Determine the environmental impacts/savings of conducting a demolition and potential construction using WA best practice; 4. Determine the economic viability of conducting best practice demolition in WA The methods chosen to achieve these objectives were industry surveys, total waste quantification at the HSHS site, environmental impact assessment via carbon footprint, economic assessment via cost benefit analysis, and a comparison to a business as usual and worst case scenario. Successful achievement of the objectives identified a significant problem with illegal disposal practices occurring to avoid landfill levy payments. Lack of regulation, voluntary reporting, lack of economic incentive (including market for products) and ineffective landfill levy application to regional areas were also identified to be barriers to higher recycle and reuse. Results also displayed the environmental and economic benefits of this demolition. Best practice techniques resulted in the highest net GHG abatement (327 tCO2e), low contribution to the C&D waste/stockpiling streams (10200 t, or 92.7% recycled material), and cost savings generated by lower raw material use, transport and waste fees (saving approximately $252,000). The HSHS demolition was however, the most expensive scenario, with approximately $1,900,000 comparable costs. Further research could be conducted on the application of higher direct reuse and possibly design for deconstruction to improve material circularity. It is recommended that regulation surrounding the landfill levy should be put in place to discourage illegal practices. In addition, economic incentive could be provided in the form of lower labour taxes, and higher raw materials tax to encourage best practice demolition techniques.

YLEMEZ August 2007, 96 pages Excavators are used for many purposes. Some of these are digging, drilling, breaking and demolition. A demolition excavator boom consists of 3-piece boom which is different in form and construction from a 2-piece boom used in standard excavator. The aim of this thesis is to design a demolition boom for hydraulic excavator with operation weight of 30 ton. With this construction a higher reach is gained. Design of the demolition boom consists of three stages. Firstly the mechanism design is performed to determine the basic link dimensions. In the second step the structural shape of the boom is estimated to perform static stress analysis. The EXCEL program is chosen due to the ease of repetative calculations and applying the changes in structure parameters. The demolition boom is modeled by PRO-ENGINEER, and consequently the model is analyzed by using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in MSC.Marc-Mentat. According to the FEA results the model is revised.

Abstract:
The £198M demolition industry sector is part of the construction industry, worth approximately £2.2bn in the UK p.a albeit such a small fraction it is nevertheless the largest provider of secondary building products, handles 32 million tonnes (approximately) of waste each year and is principally responsible for clearing brownfield sites in readiness for new build. Sustainable demolition activities are at the forefront of the UK Government and many NGO s policies on waste reduction, increased recycling and reclamation of waste building products at the end of life cycle. However, there are problems in developing more sustainable demolition processes based on historical methods of working, in particular, those involving manual handling activities. Whilst the UK construction industry boasts reduced accident and incident rates the demolition sectors rates are in the ascendency, rising by 43% overall from 1996 to 2009. That said, it would appear that those working within the sector are unaware of the rise in accidents which has steadily increased by 100% since 2000. Despite the demolition sector s increased use of mechanical applications for structural demolition, the prolonged and prolific method of stripping out buildings by hand remains a major risk and causal factor for injuries. The results of this research have identified the causation of such an increase in accident occurrence and has offered an insight into how the reduction of accident and incident may be accomplished. This research is unique in that practising exponents of the demolition sector have participated in providing exclusive evidence of methodology, accident reporting and waste handling protocols that give clear indications of a gulf in current thinking by government, NGO s and the enforcing authorities. The research has also identified failings in product and building design that create unsustainable conditions for safe, efficient and cost effective demolition, dismantling and handling of materials at end of life. This realisation also opens up the debate on the role of designers and their contribution to a safe and sustainable demolition process.

Abstract:
There is a need to improve the current demolition techniques selection process that involves a multicriteria decision making problems because the decision performed by demolition engineers were based on their knowledge and experience without any systematic procedure that can be followed to support the decision process. There is also a need to capture the expert's knowledge since significant proportion of senior, experienced demolition engineers are close to retirement, and unless their knowledge is captured in some form, it would be lost. Concerning to these needs, the research aim is to develop an intelligent decision support system that incorporated the demolition expert's knowledge in selecting the most appropriate demolition techniques for a given structure. Various research methodologies were adopted to achieve the aim. Literature on demolition industry was first reviewed. Knowledge acquisition approaches were used to capture the demolition expert knowledge, which included an industry survey through postal questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and protocol analysis. The rapid prototyping methodology was used in developing the prototype system. The proposed intelligent decision support system is called 'Demolition Techniques Selection System' (DTSS). The prototype system consists of two stages. The first stage will assist the decision maker to select the most appropriate demolition techniques in term of technical aspects by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. The second stage allows the decision maker to assess the demolition techniques in terms of cost by using the Demolition Cost Estimation model. The prototype was evaluated during and after the development process to verify, validates, and improves it. The evaluation revealed that the prototype system demonstrated many benefits and applicable for use in the industry. It is concluded that the prototype provides a clear, systematic and structured framework that improved the current demolition techniques selection process. It also serves as an information source that contains a considerable amount of information on demolition techniques. It can act as a teaching aid for young professionals coming into the demolition industry by giving them a basic information and understanding of demolition. Demolition contractors can use the system as a marketing aid to impress potential clients to win a project because of its ability to give rational and structured decisions with the capability of generating graphical reports and sensitivity analysis.

When examining the factory within the urban fabric, especially those cases that are abandoned and considered obsolete, it may be possible to see the first generative act as one of un-building. Considering demolition as an activity of design, this thesis explores the potential of the often-overlooked violence needed to make architecture. A selective type of demolition called raizing would provide careful and responsible ways of removing a building or parts of a building while accounting for its historical, sociological and constructive significance. The process would prepare the site through various scales of time, material and landscape for a new use. The project uses as a case study the McGraw Glass plant, a 1936 Albert Kahn design. The plant was closed at the end of 2003 leaving a 40-acre site in Southwestern Detroit open to various futures. As a site and a building, it requires attention both to constructive details but also to the larger urban, social and ecological landscapes that surround it. Employing razing as the first step in the transformation of the site, The thesis proposes a phased series of interventions to promote remediation not only as an ecological solution but also as structured means of changing the perceptions and experiences of a place. The equally important goal is to make the process visible and valuable to stakeholders whether they are neighbors, former employees, tourists or the public at large.

Demolition is deeply embedded in urban systems. It has been explained as both the inevitable churn of the built environment and as a grand gesture of human control of the urban organism. This thesis examines the three main arguments for demolition: social reform, modernization, and non-conformity. Through the lens of each, it looks at the history of American demolition and points out the flawed reasoning that justifies demolition today. It focuses especially on the history of Boston, Massachusetts. It proposes that demolition does not serve a legitimate function in city planning, and offers a new rubric for decision-making around demolition.

Abstract:
In Australia, the construction and demolition industry contribute up to half the majority of the total waste generated. Western Australia is not only one of the largest construction and demolition (C&D) waste producer, but also one of the worst in term of recycling rate. One of the main barriers for a proper waste management plan is the lack of data quality for waste measurement. This unique study aims to compare three measurement methods from research paper with two unique sets of data. From literature reviews, the different techniques were never applied in the same case. This project also compares the different scenario to show the economic potential of source separation and sending the waste to a recovery centre. A comparison was made with Reunion Island where similar problems related to C&D are present. Different solutions are proposed to solve those problems and to reach a Circular Economy system. It will analyse the data to perform the calculation were collected from the demolition of a high school in Hamilton Hill and Councils for the third method. The direct measurement using a map to calculate the mass of waste produced by the walls made of asphalts have a percentage of error at only 0.75%. The second method using the trucks and the density of the materials for the mass calculation had only a 4.16% percentage error. The third measurement aimed to calculate the mass of demolition over the years, according to demolition permit could not be performed due to the lack of data available. Direct measurement was found to be the calculation which has the highest potential to be accurate, but it will require much more time to collect all the measurements. The scenario for the economic comparison shown a source separation to send clean waste to resource recovery centre allowed a saving up to 80% from the price of a landfill. The creation of a coefficient of expansion seems to be a potential project to improve the quality for volumetric calculation of waste in Western Australia.

Abstract:
Every generation is challenged by the question of what to preserve, what to alter and what to let disappear and die. In this journey, demolition becomes a critical moment, eliminating built architecture as an erect material object. Focusing on demolition as a phenomenon that resists the passing of time through destruction, my research explores demolition as a concept that has something to offer the present. In Choreographing Events, demolition, as a process of transformation, becomes an artistic method; a choreographic strategy with multiple expressions. This practice-as-research enquiry (Haseman, 2006; Nelson, 2013; Rendell, 2004) aims to explore the space that lies between the disciplines of dance, choreography, architecture and the screen. In the in-between space (Grosz, 2001) of the aforementioned disciplines, I perform a series of demolitions as transgressions (Jenks 2013) which take the form of dance-architectures (hybrids between dance and architecture),choreographic diagrams (visual tools emerging from the intersection of architectural diagrams and dance scores), unstable archives (spatio-corporeal ‘documents’), choreographic environments and events (spatial conditions for corporeal and performance-based interactions). Through these inter-disciplinary encounters, demolition appears as a dynamic process that allows movement in the liminal space between stability and mobility, trace and disappearance and permanence and ephemerality. Informed by Bernard Tschumi’s thinking, I draw connections between event-spaces (1996) and the work of choreography to un-do, and thus demolish, fixed perceptions of space. Event-spaces as a triangulation of movement, space and action are applied in the performing space of the theatre -architecture (specifically the Black Box Theatre) and have been expanded in the tracing as writing (choreo-graphing and cinemato-graphing) of architecture as an event-based, and thus spatio-corporeal, and archival practice. Two practice-as-research projects, Choreo graphic Process Architecturally Devised (2015) and Anarchitextures (2016) offer a critique of the traditional forms of dance-making inside theatrical places, proposing an expanded choreographic practice that questions the theatrical apparatus while revealing the performativity of space. This research is relevant to dance artists and architects interested in space-making practices, re-theatricalisations, site-interventions and embodied ways of activating and archiving architecture.

Abstract:
Due to urban expansion and what it results as construction and demolition waste specially in the big cities we had to deal with this wastes and put it in the right process to take advantage of them once again as a row materials. This study aim to clarify the recycling methods of the construction and demolition wastes and also discuss the environmental and economic influence by presenting several studies in different countries shows the quantities of their wastes and its recycled percentage. As well as we discussed the challenges that can be faced during the waste recycling process specially if that was done in a densely settled cities where necessary to take into account the possible problems that can happen within the demolition stage and during the transportation of the wastes from the demolition site to the treatment facility. Also it has been explained which is the perfect paths that can be followed to gain the highest recycled percentage and how it is possible to have the maximum benefit of the materials produced from that process.

Abstract:
AbstractThe 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence resulted in severe loss and disruption in Christchurch, New Zealand due to liquefaction and damage from strong shaking. Following the earthquake, over 60% of concrete buildings with 3 + stories in the Christchurch CBD were demolished, resulting in a widespread displacement of people and business, an excess of $NZD 40 billion in losses, and significant environmental impacts from the demolition. Following the event, it was revealed that environmental impacts were not a direct consideration in demolition decision making. This paper provides a quantitative evaluation of the environmental impacts of the demolitions in Christchurch to highlight the importance of including environmental considerations when deciding between repair or demolition of a damaged building. First, the quantitative and qualitative factors that led to the demolitions following the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence are discussed to provide context for the argument that environmental impacts should be included in such considerations. Next, the environmental impacts of building demolitions in Christchurch are presented in terms of the embodied CO2 and energy in the building materials; the demolition process and waste disposal are not considered in this initial evaluation. Finally, a brief discussion on incorporating environmental impacts into the demolition decision making paradigm is presented. Moreover, consideration of environmental impacts of demolitions supports the need to move toward low-damage design in the future evolution of building codes.

Abstract:
The current cleanup of structures related to cold-war production of nuclear materials includes the need to demolish a number of highly alpha-contaminated structures. The process of planning for the demolition of such structures includes unique challenges related to ensuring the protection of both workers and the public. Pre-demolition modeling analyses were conducted to evaluate potential exposures resulting from the proposed demolition of a number of these structures. Estimated emission rates of transuranic materials during demolition are used as input to an air-dispersion model. The climatological frequencies of occurrence of peak air and surface exposures at locations of interest are estimated based on years of hourly meteorological records. The modeling results indicate that downwind deposition is the main operational limitation for demolition of a highly alpha-contaminated building. The pre-demolition modeling directed the need for better contamination characterization and/or different demolition methods—and in the end, provided a basis for proceeding with the planned demolition activities. Post-demolition modeling was also conducted for several contaminated structures, based on the actual demolition schedule and conditions. Comparisons of modeled and monitoring results are shown. Recent monitoring data from the demolition of a UO3 plant shows increments in concentrations that were previously identified in the pre-demolition modeling predictions; these comparisons confirm the validity and value of the pre-demolition source-term and air dispersion computations for planning demolition activities for other buildings with high levels of radioactive contamination.
