Recent increasing of redevelopment project causes construction of new buildings after demolition of old buildings. However, the researches have been largely confirmed to analysis of behaviour characteristics of existing subway tunnel due to adjacent excavation which constructing new building so far. Accordingly, The ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Building which will be built after demolishing existing parking lot is selected as a subject of study. And the purpose of this study is to analyze the effects on existing subway tunnel due to loading and unloading caused by demolition of upper buildings. The numerical analysis was performed by using the MIDAS/GTS program. Two cases for the numerical analysis were analyzed. The one is considering demolition of old buildings and the other is not considering it. This study is to analyze the effect on existing subway tunnel caused by demolition of upper building by analyzing numerical analysis results for tunnel displacement and lining stress. It was analyzed that the effects of considering the demolition of old buildings are larger than those of no considering it.

According to the national building status, there are a total of 2.89 million buildings that are over 30 years old after completion, and the number is increasing by more than 70,000 to 80,000 buildings every year. As a result, the demand for demolition works is also increasing, and more than 3 to 4 collapse accidents occur steadily every year during demolition work. Major causes of accidents include non-compliance with plans, negligence of on-site supervisors, and failure to secure structural safety. Due to the strengthening of the Severe Disaster Punishment Act, there is growing interest in the demand for secure management of collapse detection during demolition works. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the applicability of real-time safety monitoring systems using a total station capable of 3D automatic displacement measurement in building demolition work for securing structural safety by the load changes during the demolition process.

Reconstruction and redevelopment of old and dilapidated apartment and housing have been increasing to provide more housing accommodation and to secure the safety of building structures since the middle of 1990's. Since, however, little researches on the demolition technique have been made, conventional mechanical demolition method were applied to the most of works that resulted in flooding in small demolition companies. Problems associated with mechanical demolition method are increase not only in working days and costs, but also in public claims, particularly for high-rise building structures. This is to contribute the demolition industries bt providing the concept, standards, and technique of demolition engineering while maximizing working efficiency and minimizing public claims.

The amount of construction waste increased to 176,447 ton/day in 2008 from 28,400 ton/day in 2000, a 6-fold increase in just 10 years. Such dramatic increase in the waste of concrete, asphalt concrete, wood and metals was due to demolition of old buildings as well as a great number of building redevelopment projects and hurried city industrialization. Many buildings targeted for demolition today were built in line with the government policy to provide affordable housing to citizens in the shortest time possible and consequently, said buildings underwent rapid deterioration and required periodic repairs and reconstruction. Based on the above, we predict that construction waste will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. In particular, due to limited availability of suitable space to construct apartments and residential buildings in the city, old buildings are being torn down to make space for new development, further increasing construction waste. In light of that, efforts to recycle as well as reduce generated waste are urgently required.

While the construction of dismantling the old industrial complex and restoring the dismantled industrial site to its original natural environment the is underway. In this paper, we introduce a case of dismantling a turbine building which one of the a large steel frame structures in an old industrial complex by applying the progressive collapse method among the blasting demolition methods. We used a charge container that generates a metal jet to cut dismantling the turbine building. The thickness of the steel structure was adjusted to 30 mm or less by applying gouging, which was a method of digging deep grooves by gas and oxygen flames or arc thermal, in the part where the cutting thickness was thick in the blasting section. The total amount of charge used for the blasting of turbine building was 175 kg, 165 electronic detonators and 124 charge containers. As a result of the blasting demolition, the turbine building was collapsed precisely according to the estimated direction. The blasting demolition was completed without causing any damage to the surrounding facilities.

Recently, the demand for the dismantling of old industrial complexes has been increasing, and the construction of restoring the dismantled industries to their original natural environment is underway. In this case, the felling method was applied to the explosive demolition method to dismantle a large steel frame structure in an old industrial complex. We used a charging container to cut the steel frame structure that generates a metal jet. The thickness of the thick steel structure in the blasting section was controlled by gouging which a method of digging deep groove by gas and oxygen flame or arc thermal. As a result of the explosive demolition, the steel frame structure collapsed precisely according to the estimated direction. The explosive demolition was completed without causing any damage to the surrounding facilities.

Due to urban regeneration projects or changes in the living environment, there is an increasing need to demolish old buildings that have lost their functions. Demolition of above ground and underground structures is an important construction project that greatly affects the construction period and safety of the entire process. However, it is difficult for the safety officer to manage the demolition work due to the lack of specific and diverse data applicable to the site of the demolition plan. Therefore, in this study, items that need to be improved in structural safety when the above-ground and underground structures are demolished are reviewed and organized. For the main contents of structural safety management in demolition work, 1) structural review reflecting the order of demolition work, 2) installation and dismantling of steel pipe scaffolding and dust nets, 3) installation and dismantling of system scaffolding, 4) installation and dismantling of fall prevention nets, 5) jack support Installation and dismantling, 6) movement of equipment, movement and planning between floors, 7) equipment for demolition of structures, height of remnants, 8) site cleanup, and 9) equipment operators were categorized and arranged.

Building demolitions at urban area make some inconvenience to neighborhood through generating noises, ground vibrations, and dusts. For this reason, various methods to control such environmental impacts have been being designed and practiced. Among the methods, the use of explosive demolition is rapidly increasing because it can minimize the inconveniency as well as decrease the working time and cost. In this respect, the old Sung-Nam city hall, which was a Rahmen structure comprised of beams, slabs and columns, was decided to be demolished by explosive demolition. This paper shows that explosive demolition can be the most suitable way of removing old buildings eco-friendly, safely, and economically by showing the observation results obtained from the actual demolition operation for the Sung-Nam city hall.

An old building over 30 years old continue to increase. Therefore, there will be more dismantling of old buildings in the future. Safety management of dismantling works is being strengthened. However, no consideration has been given to the effects of dismantling workers and their residents due to environmental hazards arising from the demolition process. Only spray and dust prevention measures are subject to inspection to minimize dust generation considering civil complaints around the site of dismantling work. In this paper, residential buildings, which account for the largest proportion of old buildings, were collected and identify total airborne bacteria and floating fungi among environmental hazards caused by non-structural dismantling work. Measurement results showed that workers during dismantling work are working in places with 4.8 times more total airborne bacteria than indoor air quality maintenance standards. Related research is needed for the health of dismantling workers.

Since 2010, it is estimated that the old building to be dismantled potentially will be about 8.9 million house in domestic country. Consequently, now domestic demolition market size of about 1.5 trillion won is forecasted to be grow rapidly into the size of 5.8 trillion won. But in the domestic country, preparation of the raw and regulation for the demolition industry is very insufficient compared with advanced country, and the related research is also very insufficient. Therefore, in this study, it is performed to analyse and predict a trend of domestic demolition market after analysing a current trend in overseas demolition industry. A demolition industry is a related industry fallen behind over 25 years compared with a construction industry. The exact analysis of those trends will make it possible to set the standard for demolition waste management. Also this study suggests methods be able to develop the demolition industry into main area of construction industry through those analysis.
