- Abstract
In the realm of building demolition, ensuring the uniform distribution of energy from multiple sources is of paramount significance for the systematic deconstruction of large structures. This study presents an integrated methodology that combines genetic optimization and potential energy balance to determine the most suitable locations for multiple energy release points, thereby enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the demolition process. We initiate our approach by randomly selecting energy release points within a building model and subsequently simulate energy dispersion utilizing a potential function until reaching stable boundaries. In instances where the discrepancy in the area between the regions with maximum and minimum energy dispersion exceeds a predefined threshold, we instigate an optimization process employing genetic algorithms. This optimization process involves genetic crossover and mutation operations, followed by subsequent energy balance calculations. The result is not only an improvement in demolition efficiency but also an assurance of even energy coverage throughout the target area.
