In the stacking and pitching items of the stone masonry and demolition process presented by 2018's standard of estimate, 7 estimating standards are presented according to the depth of masonry stone, and it is presented that the quantity per unit increases as the depth of masonry stone grows. As a result of analyzing the application status in the site, it is shown that 2 or 3 stones are mainly used according to the stone sizes regardless of the depth of masonry stone, and that as the size of the stone becomes larger, the quantity per unit decreases due to the size per square meter(㎡). Also, in most of sites, machine construction is mainly carried out by excavators with clampers attached to them. Therefore, in the 2019's application standard of estimate, it is analyzed that the size is simplified down to 3 sizes reflecting the site application status and that it is revised as a standard reflecting the result that as the stone size becomes bigger, the productivity increases.

To prevent incident of demolition work the Building Management Act was implemented to manage demolition work. According to this law, buildings with the scale upper than 500㎡ of floor area are classified as permission to conduct the demolition work, however it may be hard to perform safety management at demolition work. In addition, the risk level of demolition work is varied with related to the structure type. So, the purpose of this study is to suggest the improvements of criteria on demolition work considering building structure types including small-scale structures such as masonry, wooden, and other structure. The research process was conducted by three steps. (I) Application of Building Management Act; (II) Analysis of demolition work by structure types; and (III) Subdivision of permission targets by building structure types. The result of this study, permission ratio was only 10% for total demolition work and 2.43% for masonry. Because the masonry, wooden, and other structure types are concentrated on a floor area of small-scale, the separate criteria of demolition work is need to prevent the accident and fatal incident. Through the results, the decision maker can be utilized (1) For the special building structure types, the criteria of enhanced safety management are applied by referring to the overseas law ; and (2) The demolition work can be considered by the criteria of separate permission in terms of structure types.

Use of recycled aggregates in portland cement concrete (PCC) construction can offer benefits associated with both economy and sustainability. Testing performed to date indicates that recycled brick masonry aggregate (RBMA) can be used as a 100% replacement for conventional coarse aggregate in concrete that exhibits acceptable mechanical properties for use in structural and pavement elements, including satisfactory performance in some durability tests. Recycled brick masonry aggregate concrete (RBMAC) is currently not used in any type of construction in the United States. However, use of RBMAC could become a viable construction strategy as sustainable building practices become the norm. This paper explores the feasibility of use of RBMAC in several types of sustainable construction initiatives, based upon the findings of previous work with RBMAC that incorporates RBMA produced from construction and demolition waste from a case study site. A summary of material properties of RBMAC that will be useful to construction professionals are presented, along with a discussion of advantages and impediments to use. Several quality assurance and quality control techniques that could be incorporated into specifications are identified.

Testing performed to date indicates that RBMA can be used as a 100% replacement for conventional coarse aggregate in concrete that exhibits acceptable mechanical properties for use in structural and pavement elements, including satisfactory performance in some durability tests. RBMAC is currently not used in any type of construction in the United States. However, use of RBMAC could become a viable construction strategy as sustainable building practices become the norm. Rating systems such as LEED offer points for reuse of building materials (particularly on-site) and use of recycled materials. If renovations at an existing facility call for the demolition of existing brick masonry constructions, the rubble could be included as RBMA in new concrete pavement, sidewalks, or curb and gutter. Other potential uses for RBMAC could include those in the precast concrete industry, particularly in architectural precast concrete applications. In addition to providing acceptable strength and economy, the color of RBMA could be an attractive component of architectural precast concrete panels or other façade components. This paper explores the feasibility of use of RBMAC in several types of sustainable construction initiatives, based upon the findings of previous work with RBMAC produced from construction and demolition waste from a case study site. Guidance for obtaining and using RBMA is presented, along with a summary of material properties of RBMAC that will be useful to construction professionals.

Recently, the number of structure demolitions has increased in both civil and architecture fields due to various reasons such as redevelopment of a city, utilization of sites and restoration of deteriorated structures. In the past, domestic shell structures had been constructed with brick masonry and they were not high. Therefore, their demolition had been executed with ease. Recently, however, taller reinforced concrete shell structures have become a target for the destruction. Under these circumstances, how to efficiently demolish a structure and how to minimize effects of the destruction on environment including vibration and noise have become a main issue. One of the possible solutions is the explosive demolition. In this study, a case of explosives demolition of the stack, which is located in Jeju Thermal Power Plant in Republic of Korea and is 70 m tall, is addressed. In order to fall down the structure against the desired direction, 13.5 kg dynamite and 100 electric detonators were used.

This study investigates the recycling potential of demolition waste (DW) according to building structure, while considering economic aspects. For that, this study surveyed 1,034 residential buildings to collect reliable information on demolition waste generation rates (DWGRs). This study suggested a method for operational cost calculation for each stage and carried out an inventory analysis. The economic value of recycled DW materials was also calculated. And then, the recycling potential(RP) was calculated by building structures and waste types. RP by building structure was low (27-40%), and RP was found in the order of masonry-block, wooden, RC and concrete-brick. By type of DWs, the RP of aggregates was considerably lower than 7%, and DWs such as wood, plastics, and metals showed more than 100% RP. Considering the results of this study, In order to improve the RP of buildings and DWs, the diversification of products that recycled waste like aggregates (i.e., mortar, concrete, bricks, blocks, tiles) and the development of high value-added products are considered to be the most urgent problems. Based on the above RP results, this study proposed a more advanced method for life cycle assessment of buildings and demolition waste.
