Abstract:

An analytical study was performed using experimental test data realized from 8 years of previous demolition programs conducted by USAERDL USAMERDC, Fort Belvoir, VA. Data which were analyzed related to the demolition of prestressed concrete bridge members, the cutting of steel structural elements, and the cutting of standard timber. The formulae developed from the experimental data are compared to the formulae and relationships contained in FM5-25, Explosives and Demolition, February 1971.
