SUMMARY

Explosives engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the application of explosives for demolition purposes, particularly in building implosions. This discipline requires a combination of civil engineering knowledge, specifically in structural analysis, and expertise in explosives handling. Civil engineers play a crucial role in determining the structural integrity of buildings and the optimal placement of explosives. The term "demolitions" is essential for further research in this area, particularly when combined with civil engineering concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Civil engineering principles related to structural analysis
  • Knowledge of explosives handling and safety protocols
  • Understanding of demolition techniques and methodologies
  • Familiarity with regulatory standards in explosives usage
NEXT STEPS
  • Research civil engineering courses focusing on structural integrity assessments
  • Study explosives safety regulations and handling techniques
  • Explore advanced demolition techniques and case studies
  • Learn about the role of explosives in controlled demolitions
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for civil engineers, demolition contractors, safety professionals, and anyone interested in the technical aspects of explosives engineering and its application in demolitions.

Is there any kind of "explosives engineering" such as those people who implode buildings and such? Or if not is it a combination of several types of engineering? Just a thought.

I can't say for sure. A quick search on this kind of area doesn't reveal much information. I would venture a guess that there would be a distinct division in this area between the people who know building structures and determine where to plant explosives and those that work with the explosives. From an engineer's standpoint, I would think that a civil engineer who concentrates on buildings and structures would be the most appropriate for the first.
 
"demolitons" is the word you want to Google - say, combined with Civil or Engineering.
