Demolition Analysis: Industry
As construction methods and materials have grown increasingly complex over the years, the ability to create accurate demolition plans to both safely and successfully bring down structures has also become more complex. Without a way to accurately and efficiently analyze demolition plans most of this learning curve has taken place during live building demolitions. Unfortunately this learning can come at a ghastly cost to adjacent structures and infrastructure, casualties and even human life. With recent advances in a new type structural analysis simulation called Extreme Loading® Technology (ELT) demolition experts can now accurately analyze and predict the demolition of structures by use of explosives (implosion), wrecking ball, pushing or pulling force, weakening, and manual deconstruction.
