If the supports of the building are removed, the structure collapses. Using implosion technique, the main supports of the buildings such as column’s, beams and slab are fixed with explosives. When these explosives are detonated, the column collapse and so is the structure. Depending how the structure falls, there are two types of implosion: Falling like a tree: In this type of implosion, the building is made to fall like a tree to the sideward. This is the commonly used type of implosion. When free space is available besides the building, this type of demolition is prescribed. Falling into its own footprint: When the free spaces are not available around the building and the structure around the building are to be protected. This type of demolition is used. In this type of demolition, explosives are set in the floor below the middle part of the building. As the explosions are detonated, the upper part of building destroys and falls upon the lower building. Due to the heavy load and force the lower part of the building also collapses and falls on its own footprint.

​​What is the science behind Frying Food in oil? Frying occurs when a food is introduced to hot oil and rapidly begins to dehydrate. When the food is submerged in the oil, the water within the ingredient immediately starts to boil and rise to the surface, causing free fatty acids to form. A starchy crust around the outside helps to lock in moisture, preventing the food from becoming completely dehydrated. During the frying process the Maillard reaction occurs, resulting in a golden brown color and rich flavor. The heat from the oil also cooks the interior of the food, allowing the fibers to soften, proteins to denature, and starches to gelatinize. The protective crust around the food is typically formed with starch-heavy foods, such as breadcrumbs or flour-based batters, although naturally starchy foods like potatoes can create their own crunchy outer layer while in the fryer. This barrier is essential to the frying process in order to lock in the moisture and avoid excess oil absorption.
