THE BREAKING UP OF CONCRETE

LA DEMOLITION DU BETON

This book gives a very detailed review of techniques available for the breaking up of reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures. The author also reviews methods under development, that take into account new requirements as regards the environment (noise, dust, smoke, vibrations). The difficulty of giving an exact quotation for costs is stressed. Demolition methods are grouped according to types of machine and technique used: (1) mechanical; (2) by means of blasting and gas explosion; (3) thermal. Selection criteria are analyzed according to the type of site where the method is going to be used. Mention is made of problems of safety, environment, removal of broken down concrete. (TRRL)
