Prediction of Collapse Area of Construction Materials for Cooling Tower with Different Cut Height Due to the Blasting Demolition

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of cut height on collapse area is simulated and analyzed by dynamic finite element software. Meanwhile, the simulated collapse processes of the cooling tower with different cut height were completed in a parallel study, the results of which are briefly introduced in this paper. The results show that: as the cut height increases, ground vibration on surrounding structures and collapse area of cooling tower decreases. At last, numerical simulation results were used in blasting project, which reduced hazard of collapse vibration and verify the scientific of this method.
