If you set alot of small exploives to take down a building, the explosives need to be put into the structure itself (right into the framework). You cann't just tape a bunch of small explosives to a build and hope it brings it down. To take down a building, you need to make holes in the framework and set the explosives in those holes. Therefore jackhammering comes into play.
You can cause damage to a building by just taping the explosives. But it's harder to take the building down if the explosives were just held in place instead of place with in the framework. I learned this from watch how they setup buildings to be taken down by explosives on tv. So I could be wrong on all of this.
