Numerical simulation of blast demolition for steel construction

"Shaped charge is used for blast demolition of steel construction in general. It is important tocontrol movement of cutting part with shaped charge for the blast demolition of steel construction.Movement of cutting part was studied in the small scale experiment with steel bar. A numericalsimulation using the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) was carried out. The DDAmethod was applied to the full scale blast demolition of steel construction. Results of thesenumerical simulation was compared with the blasting demolition work of steel tower."
