A preliminary study on building demolition engineering and management

In recent years, building demolition has been challenging urban developers due to the increased incidence of demolition projects and the elevation of demolition requirements. The importance of building demolition is also recognised by researchers and, given its environmental impacts, it is anticipated to achieve the same attention as conventional planning, design, construction and maintenance in the near future. In this article, the authors aim to develop a series of strategies for promoting building demolition practice. Environmentally-friendly demolition procedures are introduced through a waste minimisation decision that makes the approach on alternatives to demolition and an integrated demolition planning and design approach focus on a just-in-time (JIT) philosophy. A conceptual management framework is also presented for the implementation of demolition projects.近年来，伴随拆除工程数量攀升、拆除标准日益提高，建筑拆除作业已成为城市开发商面临的棘手课题。建筑拆除的重要性亦为研究者所认知；鉴于其对环境的潜在影响，预计在不久的将来，该领域将获得与传统规划、设计、施工及运维同等的重视程度。本文中，作者旨在提出一系列推动建筑拆除实务发展的策略。本文通过废弃物最小化决策框架，介绍环保型拆除作业流程——该框架兼顾拆除替代方案的评估，并将集成化拆除规划与设计方案锚定准时制（Just-In-Time，JIT）理念。此外，本文还提出了面向拆除工程实施的概念化管理框架。
