REVIEW ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF BUILDING DEMOLITION

Abstract

Buildings must be assessed over their lifecycles considering the environmental impact. Building demolition work differs drastically from other types of work as it lacks deliverables such as buildings or structures. Hence, it is necessary to establish evaluation methods according to the performance requirements to accurately conduct demolition work. This review proposes evaluation indexes based on three factors (economy, safety, and environment) and total to understand the conditions of demolition methods. These evaluation indexes were used to simulate the demolition of actual buildings. Results showed that overall demolition performance can be quantified based on these three factors.
