Modelling collapse and debris distribution in explosive demolition: application to a 12-story building

Key Points

• The simulation indicates the debris distribution significantly influences safety post-demolition.
• Key metrics show debris spread patterns affecting a radius of up to 30 meters from the building's base.
• Analysis of a 12-story building through advanced structural modeling reveals critical insights into collapse dynamics.
• Findings highlight the need for enhanced safety measures during explosive demolition to protect surrounding areas.
