Elective Demolition Of Redundant And Earthquake Damaged Buildings In Turkey
Open accessAbstract
When a building reaches the end of its useful life or suffers severe damage during a disaster, it has to be demolished.However, not much is known about how the demolition work proceeds, or how is it regulated in Turkey; what machinery, tools and techniques are used; what material is salvaged and what dumped as waste; and how it is disposed off.Answers to these questions were sought through research conducted in İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir, as well as in earthquake affected areas in Turkey.Safety was an issue that became a concern during the course of these studies.This paper presents an overview of information on pertinent legislation and regulations; the conventional procedure for building demolition work; and case studies on selective demolition of redundant and damaged buildings.Based on the findings of the case studies certain recommendations are made to enhance safety and feasibility of building disposal projects.

Training operators for effective deconstruction is a factor driving reuse.
“Training operators for effective deconstruction (Dantata et al., 2005; Elias Özkan, 2012; Shaurette, 2006), availability of space for the storage of the reusable components after deconstruction (Rogers, 2011) and knowledge and experience in using reused components (Tingley et al., 2017), as well as proper separation of the reusable components after deconstruction (Ajayi et al., 2017; Ding et al.,”

The Discussion on Safety Issues (page unavailable) says workers need knowledge and skills to deconstruct buildings safely, rapidly and efficiently. The paper discusses salvaging components for reuse elsewhere, but does not establish that operator training drives reuse. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
