This Final BCs Thesis presents the use of concentrated explosive charges for the demolition of bridge pillars, in particular, the application of external concentrated charge, is presented. Bridges as structures, during peacetime primarily serve for economic purposes, while in combat situations they become millitary targets of great, and sometimes strategic importance. Physical disruption of the shape of the element and its basic function fall under the term demolition of elements, and in this final paper focus will be on reinforced concrete (RC) bridge and its elements. Demolition of bridge elements, in whole or in oart, is done for the purpose of gaining an advantage over the opponent. Reinforced concrete elements used for research and preparation of final paper are integral elements of bridges, viaducts, and overpasses. The paper deals with general information about explosive substances – explosives, explosive charges and their types and placement methods. Different ways of placing an explosive charge on reinforced concrete solumns, their quantity and effect are compared. The calculation of the required amount of explosive for testing and demolition was done. Visual inspection, determination of compressive strenght with a sclerometer device, ultrasonic testing are non-destructive methods which were conducted for the needs of final paper while electrical resistance was measured with a Resipod device.
