Abstract

The current conditions in our country regarding the violation of building codes, and misunderstanding and misuse of the law of reconciliation for violations strongly forced the existence of multitype violations such as building implementation without permits, implementation of building on governmental land, and or building additional floors without permits. All of these building violations led to a negative potential for environmental, health, social, and economic aspects. Under the current circumstances, and for environmental, social, and economic conditions, it is important to establish demolition systems and techniques that lead to the optimization of the use of debris in the field of construction. It should also guarantee the safety of the licensed part of the building under demolition as well as the surrounding buildings.
This paper presents the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of different demolition techniques for existing structures. This research paper delves into the intricate world of demolition techniques for existing structures, with a focus on controlled demolition, and aims to revolutionize this field from a structural, economic, and environmental perspective. Investigating the historical evolution of demolition methods, the study underscores the importance of adaptability and innovation in demolition engineering. To ensure efficiency and ecological sustainability, the paper introduces a comprehensive methodology to examine the feasibility of each demolition technique while emphasizing the potential of debris reuse in the construction industry, It is also an attempt to develop these techniques to maximize the benefit from the debris by reusing it in the field of construction.
