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:
Abstract Demolition pathways in academic literature are divided into two main categories: conventional demolition and selective demolition. While conventional demolition is deemed a wasteful approach, selective demolition is considered a sustainable solution moving away from the destruction approach of conventional demolition to one that emphasises materials recovery. Currently, there is much contradiction in the academic literature as to the categorisation of demolition pathways. This is compounded by a mis-match between the reality of demolition pathways in practice and observations made in literature. This paper, therefore, sets out to explore the demolition pathways from the perspectives of demolition engineers operating in the UK. Data was gathered from twelve in-depth semi-structured interviews. The findings show that demolition pathways, from the industry’s point of view, are categorised under three main headings: conventional demolition, sustainable demolition, and circular demolition. While conventional demolition is perceived as a wasteful approach, the findings show it is the most appropriate demolition pathway to implement in times of crisis. Sustainable demolition represents the current best practice in the industry, which is signified by a drive for recycling. And circular demolition is a step beyond sustainable demolition whereby building materials are retrieved to maximise reuse opportunities. The demolition engineers interviewed indicated that the demolition industry could contribute to circular demolition through early engagement with designers, establishing circular objectives in the tender process, disposing of waste following the order of the waste hierarchy, and providing a circularity feedback report at the end of each project.

Abstract:
Older buildings in the United States often contain lead paint, and their demolition poses the risk of community lead exposure. We investigated associations between demolitions and elevated blood lead levels (EBLLs) among Detroit children aged <6 years, 2014–2018, and evaluated yearly variation given health and safety controls implemented during this time. Case-control analysis included incident EBLL cases (≥5 µg/dL) and non-EBLL controls from test results reported to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Exposure was defined as the number of demolitions (0, 1, 2+) within 400 feet of the child’s residence 45 days before the blood test. We used logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and test effect modification by year. Associations between demolition and EBLL differed yearly (p = 0.07): 2+ demolitions were associated with increased odds of EBLLs in 2014 (OR: 1.75; 95% CI: (1.17, 2.55), 2016 (2.36; 1.53, 3.55) and 2017 (2.16; 1.24, 3.60), but not in 2018 (0.94; 0.41, 1.86). This pattern remained consistent in sensitivity analyses. The null association in 2018 may be related to increased health and safety controls. Maintenance of controls and monitoring are essential, along with other interventions to minimize lead exposure, especially for susceptible populations.

Abstract:
Recently, technology advancement influenced almost every field of life, brings new tools and techniques to reduce human effort and risk involved. Similar in the case of Demolition industry, technology changed the demolition procedures significantly. Most of the Countries are opting new techniques for demolition operatives, which ultimately reduce the risk involved the demolishing process. Effective competency training modules has been adopted by the many countries to develop the demolition operatives skills, so the health and safety measure could be increased and also reduce the environmental impacts of the process. Malaysia has demolition procedure but unfortunately, the standards are not updated as compare to the other countries. This enhances the element of the risk in demolition procedures. The current study has examined the current standard demolition procedures of developed countries to propose a training model for demolition practices at Malaysia. Demolition operatives are highly skilled and trained through competency based training programs to reduce the risk involved during the demolition procedures.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel tool to support decision making for enhanced demolition process efficiency and material waste sortability through computerised 4D motion workflow simulation. Design/methodology/approach A time-lapse evaluation model was developed to classify and estimate the impact of building demolition processes and material waste recovery. The dynamic assessment of demolition, collision and mechanical impact was measured through computerised 4D motion game and physics engines. Waste recovery and treatment complemented the simulation algorithm. The simulation of the information workflow was tested through case study using two demolition strategies. Findings The simulation successfully estimated the efficiency and efficacy of the different demolition strategies. Thus, simulation results can potentially support better decision making related to the definition of demolition strategies associated with recycling and re-use targets. Research limitations/implications The simulation was limited to a simple machine-led demolition strategy. Further research is required to understand the impact of complex machine mechanic movements and processes on complex building fabrics. Originality/value Modelling and evaluating the demolition process and its impact on material waste recovery with a time dimension is novel. The comparative analysis of quantitative data allows demolition professionals to find optimal and more sustainable demolition solutions and more efficient and safer implementation on site. It also contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between demolition strategy and waste sortability. This research represents a significant advancement in applied computing for building demolition waste recycling and notably, it improves the quality of information available in the definition of building demolition strategies.

Abstract:
This article compares the video Reinforced Concrete (2012) by Lucas Ferraço Nassif, begun during Antje Ehmann and Harun Farocki's 2011 workshop-based project Labour in a Single Shot in Rio de Janeiro, and the performance Bustox (2014), which was carried out by the Brazilian experimental theater collective ERRO Grupo in Florianópolis. Each artwork can be read as an attempt to defetishize an idol of Brazilian capitalism, former billionaire Eike Batista. Moreover, Ehmann and Farocki's workshop can be seen as an attack on the process of fetishizing products of labor, fetishization being one of the main characteristics of capitalist society. Ehmann and Farocki's project, and consequently Nassif's video, are connected to the work of theoreticians such as Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben concerning the themes of improvisation and profanation. The concept of the fetish is also revitalized by taking into consideration Latin American thinkers Fernando Ortiz and Osório César.

Abstract:
The demolition market assists in balancing the supply and demand in the shipping industry and is a major driver of market equilibrium and the level of freight rates. Even so, literature related to ship demolition, focuses mainly on the environmental and regulatory aspects of the topic. Literature related to the economic analysis of the industry and the factors affecting demolition activity is rather limited and sporadic. From this perspective the current paper is helpful to further build up insight of the shipbreaking industry. The decision to sell a ship for scrap is driven by a number of factors with the most important being the state of the market cycle. The offered scrap price for the ship will also affect the decision of the shipowner. In this paper we analyse the process of ship sale for scrap with particular focus on the monetary flows of the ships sale process.

The study was conducted to ascertain demolition contractors' perceptions of the primary impediments to the widespread salvage of wood structural components for reuse or recycling. Assessment of the attitudes of demolition contractors was chosen since their participation in the salvage and reuse of materials is a key component necessary for any program to reduce the waste disposal rate of demolition debris. The insights obtained from the study can be used to facilitate future planning and design of programs and research that advance the recycling of demolition debris. A sample of contractor members of the National Demolition Association was surveyed for the study. In addition to demolition contractors' perception of impediments to salvage of wood structural components, the survey instrument provided a significant volume of descriptive information about demolition companies operating in the continental United States.

Abstract:
A large amount of construction and demolition waste is being generated owing to rapid urbanisation in Indian cities. A reliable estimate of construction and demolition waste generation is essential to create awareness about this stream of solid waste among the government bodies in India. However, the required data to estimate construction and demolition waste generation in India are unavailable or not explicitly documented. This study proposed an approach to estimate construction and demolition waste generation using waste generation rates and demonstrated it by estimating construction and demolition waste generation in Chennai city. The demolition waste generation rates of primary materials were determined through regression analysis using waste generation data from 45 case studies. Materials, such as wood, electrical wires, doors, windows and reinforcement steel, were found to be salvaged and sold on the secondary market. Concrete and masonry debris were dumped in either landfills or unauthorised places. The total quantity of construction and demolition debris generated in Chennai city in 2013 was estimated to be 1.14 million tonnes. The proportion of masonry debris was found to be 76% of the total quantity of demolition debris. Construction and demolition debris forms about 36% of the total solid waste generated in Chennai city. A gross underestimation of construction and demolition waste generation in some earlier studies in India has also been shown. The methodology proposed could be utilised by government bodies, policymakers and researchers to generate reliable estimates of construction and demolition waste in other developing countries facing similar challenges of limited data availability.

Abstract:
This article focuses on effects of settlement demolition in Ubungo District, Dar es Salaam City in the United Republic of Tanzania. Specifically this paper tries to answer three objectives: (i) explore causes and reasons for settlement demolition; (ii) determine socio-economic effects of settlement demolition; (iii) examine measures to address effects of settlement demolition. The study was conducted in the area along Morogoro Road where recent demolition has been executed. In this study data was collected using questionnaires, interviews and direct observations. A total of 200 people mainly head of the households were sampled for this study. The major findings of this study were loss of security due to demolition of houses as most citizens turned to homeless; loss of properties, loss jobs and loss of income among others. Despite these negative effects, the positive effects of the demolition are provision of good infrastructure, establishment of new settlements and high demand of building equipments. All in all, demolition aimed at bringing development and improves people life. The demolition exercise has a number of challenges such as people refusing to abandon their areas, people coming back to the demolished areas, thieves and crimes emerges, to mention some. Recommendations, people should be sensitized on following regulations so as to avoid problems, adhere to laws, regulations and by-laws.

Abstract:
In recent times due to the Indian economic growth, there is a surge in construction activities. This surge has led to an excess amount of demolition waste that is produced. According to the Building Material Promotion Council, India generates an estimated 150 million tons of C and D waste every year. Some existing initiatives and the significant stakeholders' involvement have created the demolition waste management systems essential in the building’s demolition phase. The research in the C and D and Awareness program for C and D waste that initiated has led to the implementation of some waste management systems in the building's demolition phase. In India, the amount of demolition waste produced is higher than the construction waste produced while constructing buildings. So, it is essential for the demolition waste mitigation plan in the building's demolition phase. The study aims to know circular construction and current demolition waste management performance in the Indian construction industry. Through literature review, demolition waste management systems that are carried out all around the world are collected. The current practices carried out by different stakeholders practicing in India are known through a questionnaire survey. Data interpretation is made using the data collected in the literature review and the questionnaire survey. This research identified the significant benefits, barriers, and motivation factors to implement the waste management system, and proposing any necessary changes. Designer innovation and BIM deconstruction is considered as one of the barrier-breaking innovation in adopting the circular construction.

Abstract:
Abstract The need for better natural resource use is currently increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. Legislation, guidelines, and other documentation play an important role in improving demolition activities and construction and demolition waste (CDW) management. Good practices in CDW handling is not achievable without knowledge about CDW recovery techniques described in guidelines and other documents. Demolition activities in arctic regions could be more challenging due to harsh climate conditions, and therefore the cooperation between Russia, Norway and Finland was established to boost the uptake of good practices in demolition activities and CDW management. The main subject of this article is an overview of presently used demolition practices, CDW management, and verification of areas where practices with lower environmental impact and increase of material circularity could be utilised. Two fundamental documents, namely “EU Construction & Demolition Waste Management Protocol” and “Guidelines for the waste audits before demolition and renovation works of buildings” [1, 2], were published by the European Union (EU) in 2019 and serve as a foundation for changes in demolition activities and CDW management in EU and adventitiously also in the Russian Federation and Norway.

Abstract:
Recently the demand for demolition of unnecessary cylindrical silo structure is increasing due to the deterioration and malfunctional conditions and the issue of demolition is in the limelight. To minimize environmental hazards caused during the process of demolition, the explosive demolition method has been applied increasingly. The concrete silo structure is often built by the slip-form method which is a continuous concrete casting operation. As a result, the structure does not have expansion joints or other structural weaknesses that can be used to assist in the demolition process. This study presents the pre-weakening of explosive demolition of the cylindrical concrete silo structure by overturning method. Pre-weakening for the explosive demolition of the structure is usually conducted based on the field experience without technical guideline for the pre-weakening procedure. Hence, there always exist safety-related concerns. To demolish the structure by blast effectively and safely, rational approach to the pre-weakening and evaluation method of the load carrying capacity of the pre-weakened structure should be established. To do this, mechanical properties of concrete are estimated by experiment prior to structural analysis. Based on the result of investigation, design or operation methods of pre-weakening for the blast demolition are discussed.

Abstract:
In Poland, it often happens that construction objects are subject to demolition work for different reasons. Demolition, according the Construction Law, is defined as a type of construction works and, as such, represents a particular type of construction project. As in other construction projects, a very important phase, in addition to execution of the works, is to prepare, design and plan demolition works. Some demolition activities are covered by appropriate regulations and can be described as typical. On the other hand the technical side of demolition works depends on many factors such as: the type of building, its age, technical condition, type of construction, etc. This article covers the analysis of the stages and tasks in the preparatory phase of the building demolition. This work will also present a description of the tasks carried out during the demolition works based on the example of a historic tenement house located in Krakow. This analysis aims to identify implementation problems and sources of risk that may occur during this type of construction work.

Abstract:
Aim: The main objective of this paper is to explore the volatility of ship demolition indices. Ship demolition indices are becoming increasingly important owing to the growing number of norms and rules imposed by the International Maritime Organization. Financial crunch and stricter emission norms are forcing vessel owners to consider ship demolition options. This study examines the volatility of ship demolition rates of the Baltic Demolition Index and the causal relationship between the Chinese and Indian subcontinent indices. Methods: EGARCH models have been used to explore the volatility and asymmetric effects in the time series. The relationship between the two indices was established using the Granger causality test. Results and conclusion: The final analysis confirmed that ship demolition indices are both volatile and asymmetric. This study is unique and useful to ship owners, vessel operators, and banks as it helps them understand the risks involved.

Abstract:
Construction and demolition waste represents a significant waste flow, both in Brazil and in other countries. According to specific Brazilian legislation, since 2004 construction and demolition waste can no longer be disposed of in open dumps, municipal solid waste landfills, slopes, waterways and environmental protected areas. Construction and demolition waste should preferably be recycled, but just a small amount of it returns to the construction industry production chain in Brazil. This work aims both to present diagnoses of the construction and demolition waste management in Brazil, the European Union and the United States and to compare their results. It is concluded that Brazil presents performance indicators in relation to construction and demolition waste management well below those found for the other analysed countries. Furthermore, differences and similarities are identified and potentials for improvement in the current situation of construction and demolition waste in Brazil are discussed.

Abstract:
With the unprecedented growth of the shipping transportation demand, substantial vessels have been built and delivered to the market. This has led to oversupply after the financial crisis in 2008 because of the abrupt decrease in transportation demand. Notwithstanding the importance of shipping market studies in the investment decision-making, there are relatively few empirical studies modelling the impacts on the structural changes of the fleet supply variables. By considering new orders, current fleet size, and demolitions in ship capacity supply, this study develops a systematic model in both bulker and container markets. The three-stage least squares method is employed to estimate the model to avoid endogenous issues. The primary finding suggests the significant impact of market, cost, and operational factors on fleet capacity supply. It also reveals the relatively rational activities in ordering new vessels and cautious in demolition decisions in the container market because of the large capital investment required. These are relevant to investment and demolition decisions in both the bulker and container markets.

Abstract:
The paper analyzes the traditional mechanic technique of concrete demolition and the promising hydro demolition techniques from viewpoint of waterworks operators. The mechanical concrete demolition technique using chisel hammers is immediately available for the use and relatively cheap, but it is associated with considerable labor cost, generation of dust and noise. Concrete hydro demolition technique using high-pressure water has much higher productivity and reduces repair completion time, does not damage reinforcement, and ensures good adhesion of new concrete to old concrete. Basic technical characteristics of hydro demolition equipment and its pricing are given. On the basis of the current situation with regard to the estimated regulation and financing of construction projects, including from budgetary funds, the author considered the possibility of using promising methods of removing exposed concrete of lock chamber walls. A comparison was made between the cost and the regulatory and actual labor intensity between the methods of mechanical and hydraulic destruction of concrete. It has been shown that application of the hydraulic demolition technique is constrained by financial capabilities and estimates regulatory requirements. For substantiation of using the concrete hydro demolition techniques, operators need to adjust the regulatory framework for federal assessments.

Abstract:
In practice, doubts may arise both about the issue of the tax obligation under real estate tax, as well as its expiry, especially in the situation of demolition of buildings (or sale of real estate after construction). Taxpayers point out that an object deprived of one of the constitutive elements, such as walls or roof, is not a building and should not be taxed regardless of the duration of its demolition. The majority of administrative courts take the side of taxpayers, stating, among other things, that demolition works in a building are most often stretched in time, therefore the tax obligation may be extinguished before the end of demolition due to the demolition of the building's constitutive features under the Act . Thus, the expiry of the tax obligation may be related to depriving the building of one of the external building partitions (a load-bearing wall) or the roof. It is important, therefore, that the taxpayers carrying out the demolition (in the event of a dispute with the tax authorities) can document the demolition of the roof or wall of the building, entries in the construction log, as well as evidence in the form of photographic documentation.

Abstract:
Construction activity in South Korea must entail the process of demolition. There is such a high sense of awareness of the importance of managing ever-increasing quantities of demolition waste. To ensure efficient management of demolition waste, it is critical to quantitatively estimate the amount of demolition waste. Based on such need, this study examined the sub-divided categorization models to predict the amount of demolition waste generation rates (DWGs). For the execution of study, the present researchers collected the data on DWGs from 394 buildings based on the mass balance principles. On the basis of the collected DWGs data, ANOVA analysis was performed to compare mean differences in structure and wall materials. Results of the analysis showed that the amount of DWGs varied, depending on the structure of buildings and the wall materials used. The results also indicated that describing even a single type of DWGs discarded from buildings would require multiple estimation models for demolition waste generation.

Abstract:
The process of changing the attachment of a demolition robot is a complex operation and requires a high docking accuracy, so it is hard for operators to control this process remotely through the camera’s perspective. To solve this problem, this paper studies trajectory planning for changing a demolition robot attachment. This paper establishes a link parameter model of the demolition robot; the position and attitude of the attachment are obtained through a camera, the optimal docking point is calculated to minimize the distance error during angle alignment for attachment change, the inverse kinemics of the demolition robot are solved, the trajectory planning algorithm and visualization program are programmed, and then the trajectory planning for the demolition robot attachment changing method is proposed. The results of calculations and experiments show that the method in this paper can meet the accuracy, efficiency, and safety requirements of demolition robot attachment changing, and it has promising application prospects in the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities and other radioactive environments.
