Our Indian high court and supreme court have ordered to demolish 3 floors of a 7 story building in chennai. You as a civil engineer please clarify. Will it not affect the near by building and will it not loose its strength because of no fault of the neighbors. The demolished building also looses its strength in its remaining 4 floors. Two months back I visited New York and saw the destroyed twin tower. The near by buildings were also cracked due to the impact of the damage of the twin tower. I saw the seen of demolition work here. They use just the sledge hammer to demolish the floors. Before delivering the order they should have consulted the civil engineers.

Demolition of a building definitely affects the nearby buildings. Thus, basements should be built surrounding the building to be demolished in order not to affect the adjacent buildings.

If you mean that they are going to do an interior gut out / strip out (also known as interior demolition where the inside non-load bearing walls are removed along w/ drop ceilings, floor tile, etc. )then this can be done safely w/o comprimising the integrity of the building
