@@ChongPangBoom money
@@ChongPangBoom: that Concrete is High density. MicroFibre and steel reinforced concrete in a vibrating cast. That probably costs a 1000 dollars or more. When you talk about 4 walls per room. Ceilings. Pillars. Etc. You quickly escape a third world countries budget for both manufacturing and purchasing and sale. We have the technology to have Supercrete now that can build structures twice the size of the burj khalifa. The problem is no one can make it to the quantity or budget required to Make it possible.
Can't glass bottles be used to strengthen concrete structures?
If I ever get a bunker built, I'd want their walls :-)
@@TheOneAndOnlyMrH Well Finland does have long experience in making concrete bunkers. Due to civil defense legislation pretty much every big apartment complex, office block etc. does have an air raid shelter on bottom floor or in the basement under the building.
I feel like that first explosion was a good demonstration of how a grenade would disperse its energy when tossed into like a bunker or trench, those things really pack a bigger punch than they make them out to.
yea the movies don't do them justice. First thing to my mind was "yea you're dead.. if you was under that roof, you are dead..". Honestly the grenade and the waterjug at the end were the two scariest ones..
Grenades are scary bc they send out shrapnel which acts like bullets when they hit you
@@Epic_747 some are, some act as concussion, the new US army nade can somehow magically act as both
Ok, I have to throw my hat in here, and I know these comments are sort of old, but I feel the need to shed some light. An M67 grenade will without a doubt be able punch holes in you with shrapnel up to about 10 meters/yards. It only creates a certain amount of shrapnel though so the further you get from the explosion the better chance you have. If you are within a bunker, no chance without a miracle. Now as to the concussion, each and every explosion has a wave concussion, the force of the explosion determines the shockwave output. There is no magic involved. As far as movies doing them justice, no movies make them look way stronger than they really are. The mechanics of breaching a wall are a lot more simple than this video makes them out to be. The explosion sends out the shockwave in an orb, just like blowing a bubble, and it will follow the path of least resistance if there is an obstruction. It's as simple as making the concrete wall the path of least resistance. I will just let you ponder that for yourself.
Figured I'd chime in here too because Hollywood grenades peeve me. I have trained with M67 hand grenades. Thrown plenty. Trained Soldiers to use them. They are not that impressive. They will not flip a car. They will not obliterate a building. Their purpose is anti-personnel fragmentation, not explosive force. For those interested, I am sure grenade range training videos are posted.... Small boom, alot of small holes.

@@spiritus1512 Yes they invented the term "Molotov Cocktail" during the Winter war with the Soviet Union. Molotov who was the head of Soviet Foreign Affairs claimed that they weren't bombing Finnish cities but dropping breadbaskets.

Concrete is really good at taking pressure, but pretty weak against being ripped apart, that's why the inner side takes little damage (compression) and the outer side rips away
I was once privileged to observe the demolition of a thin (5" thick) concrete bridge deck slab, from a damaged bridge with a washed-out abutment. The slab had so much reinforcing in it that, even though it had a 45-degree twist along its length, there were no visible cracks. The thinner the slab the more difficult it is, because the blast just blows a hole and escapes into thin air. The contractor had a free supply of time-expired Anzomex boosters (TNT + PETN). These were maybe an inch and a half diameter and a couple of inches long. So he drilled strings of holes about 4" centres, inserted and fired the charges, and it cut the slab into neat six-foot squares of concrete joined by the reinforcing which he then cut with a gas axe. Notably, the steel reinforcing wasn't damaged by the blast at all, though the concrete was neatly removed from around and between it.
" The slab had so much reinforcing in it that, even though it had a 45-degree twist along its length, there were no visible cracks. " hehe, the amount of false/wrong informations under this video is just impresive... Or did you simply forgot to put your glasses on your nose that day?(because that is the only logical explanation of your story...).
@@Bialy_1 I said, "no visible cracks". That was based on standing at one end and looking. This was a ~30-foot long single-lane bridge deck slab on a back road. And I did find the absence of obvious cracks quite remarkable. I'm pretty sure that if I'd got down on my knees and examined it closely, there would have been microcracks all over it - which is why there weren't any obvious big cracks. And there was nothing wrong with my eyesight. Evidently I should have been more careful to measure and record things precisely at the time and specify carefully the limitations of my observation in a KZhead comments section. (Yeah that was sarcasm).

There is a term for the effect of the shaped charge. When the explosive causes almost no damage to the surface it touches, but sends shockwaves through the material and causes shrapnel on the other side is known as "spalling".
Its not shaped charges that do that, its HESH munitions with HESH standing for High Explosive Squash Head.
@@InsufficientGravitas yup good 'ol hesh
@@InsufficientGravitas and yet here we saw a poor shape charge spall... Even kinetic rounds can cause spalling, its not just hesh
@@noncog1 Yeah, but they cause spalling as they pass through, for the most part at least, and the specific mechanism described was of HESH. Neither Heat not AP shells are focused on or really able to create spall in that manner.
@@InsufficientGravitas kinetic shells absolutely can cause meaningful spalling, which contributed to the understanding of such effect and led to the development of hesh. Kinetic round spalling was a real and impactful aspect of armored fighting in the pre-modern era. The first rounds used specifically with spalling being intended were kinetic rounds not capable of a meaningful complete penetration, spall lining was used before hesh.

The damage on the other side of the concrete wall is from what is called spalling, and it works exactly the way you describe. That's actually why tanks have anti-spalling fabric on the inside of the armor; early anti-tank weaponry caused most of its blast-only damage that way.
That type of damage is called spalling(and not the cause of it) and in this case it is so significant becaue concrete is an anisotropic material(contrary to for example armor plate on a tank...).

Thanks, I really needed that
It'd be more expensive but you should really do each test on a fresh wall because each explosion causes stress cracks so it gets weaker after each test. but still cool watching it :D
I was trained in demolitions 32 years ago in the army. Both my memory and math are rusty, but I believe that the breaching charge formula for TNT is P = R(cubed)KC where P equals pounds of TNT to use, R is the radius (thickness) of the concrete, K is the material factor (reinforced concrete is 1.76 for a foot thick wall and .96 for a two-foot thick wall) and C is the tamping factor. To breach a fortification that is 1/3 of a meter (1ft) thick with a resulting hole large enough for men to pass through, even though the wall is only a foot thick, you need a hole that has a diameter of about 4ft. so you need to double the R to get a two foot radius around the blast. 2 cubed is 8. As I said, the K factor for more than one foot but less than 3 feet of reinforced concrete is .96 therefore 8 X .96 is 7.68. Now you have to decide on the tamping and placement method. If you're going to place the charge against a flat wall like that, and you hope for a hole that is 4ft. in diameter, you have to place the charge half the radius of the desired breach above the ground at the 2ft. point and then consider the tamping factor. An elevated un-tamped charge for a 1ft. thick reinforced concrete wall is 1.8, so 17.68 X 1.8 tells you that you need a TNT charge of 13.824. You then round that up to the next pound or 14. So, if you don't intend to tamp it, you need a charge of 14 pounds of TNT elevated at two feet above the wall and placed against the surface of the wall. That's about two regular-sized satchel charges. If it were me, I'd probably split that into two 7 pound charges because I'm only trying to breach 12-inches of concrete. If I place one charge at about 18 inches above the ground and another at 36 inches I should be able to get full penetration and end up with an opening 4ft by 4ft. Then, once you've breached the wall, you have to deal with the rebar, because the TNT will not defeat the rebar. At that point, it would be necessary to use either a metal-cutting torch or metal-cutting charges on any rebar within a 270 degree arc of that circle in order to be able to bend the rebar out of the hole so one can pass through. Don't try this at home. In fact, don't try this at all unless/until you check those figures with a demo expert, because my demo math skills are 32 years rusty and I personally wouldn't trust them without having them confirmed by another demo guy.
What's your take on their placing the shaped charge directly against the wall?

Thanks for the info.
The effect where the back side of the concrete breaks and flies off even though there's no hole is called "spalling". It's caused by pressure waves inside the concrete bouncing around and interacting; when two waves meet in the right way, it creates an area where the concrete is "stretched" further than it can withstand, causing fragmentation of the material. An interesting related fact is that the spalling effect is a consideration in the design of armor for tanks and other vehicles. Incomplete penetrations and explosions can cause spalling on the other side the the armor, creating a shotgun-like blast that can injure personnel and damage equipment. In fact, there are munitions created specifically to take advantage of spalling! Because of this, many armored vehicles have layers of material such as Kevlar lining the inside of the armor, in order to catch the spall fragments.

For anyone wondering, The reason the explosion isn't huge and slow, Is because those types of explosions are typically used in movies, for dramatic effect. Explosions like these, are essentially for military use. And because of that; require a fast detonation to acquire a fast shockwave. And the reason is; More damage, etc.
Everyone: No the water jug and C4 isn't not going to work. Lauri: I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Am I missing an eyebrow
Love the Mythbusters reference. Lol. They essentially made a water charge. Ive seen one in Iraq blow through a bank vault thick steel door. It was like 20 zip zags of det. Cord and 3 saline bags. Hole large enough for a hand grenade to clear it out. Lol. Then we had engineers come clear the rest of the door
@@hanksadventures4132 Why bother clearing it at all ? just weld the door shut :P
That double negative makes it were they all thought it would work
Water is a nearly non compressable liquit. Air on the other hand can be compressed quite well, since it is a gas (think aboout air cannisters for divers ). Therefore placing a layer of water (in form of the water filled jerry can) above the C4 channels the energy of the explosion towards the wall. If it wasnt for the water all the exothermic reaction energy would just expand into the air, and therfore being useless. The water blocks that direction, so the hot gases can only expant thrpugh the wall...

There's actually a breaching charge designed to break through solid concrete walls, it's called the concrete charge (duh) the hard part is dealing with rebar reinforcement because the c-4 shatters the concrete and makes it crack, but it also keeps the c-4 away from the steel bars. To blow through steel the c-4 needs to be in direct contact with the steel to cut it. So reinforced concrete walls are hard to blow a hole through because the rebar reinforcement will still be untouched
All about the rebar 💪
@@jshaw4757 for real though it's just mild dirt steel but its such a problem to explosive breaching
@@andrewhallard537 I never thought such a universal method in concrete making could hinder a high explosive
@@manny4707 yeah but it makes sense, rebar is mild steel which takes a considerably higher pressure to cut it with explosives. While concrete cracks pretty easily
I wonder if you could just use four linear shaped charges to make a square hole. I imagine the size of the charges required to make it through in one go would be ridiculous.

You folks make me want to move and work like y'all because that looks Super exciting
Okay, this crew is welcome in my pit, I laughed so hard because of the Fin style, very cool.

Well said my friend. If you see me running...try to keep up!
I miss the updates... but can't wait to see what he does next.
lol. Nice...
However far away EOD is from a blast, double it.
And this kids is why throwing grenades at tanks in battlefield doesn't do much lol.
While that may be ineffective bum rushing them with c-4 does tends to provide better results
@@johnb3587 C-4? you mean jeep stuff right? I'm pretty sure you mean jeep stuff, yeah jeep stuff is awesome huh :D
Bum rush em with a lunge min after two shots from a m1a1 bazooka if that doesn’t kill it I’ll be amazed
Grenades don’t do much to tanks because it just shoots out a bunch of fragmentation shards, i.e. the “Frag Grenade” moniker
@@justiceofbook picks up anti tank bundle grenade
Awesome video thanks for sharing.
This KZhead channel is very good. The content you produce is very good.
“I use a water bottle, not a pepsi bottle, that would have been cheating” because of things like these i love Lauri and Anni
I laughed at the Finnish pressure washer joke, but I do not understand the pepsi bottle joke?
That was a fantastic video! You should've have a full size mannequin on the opposite side of the wall. :-)

"it's kinda like Finnish pressure washer. " I threw myself away at that one
Timestamp?
@@Leafy_Captain it's during the red 2L water bottle
@@Leafy_Captain It's at 5:35. And then he said "either there is going to be a hole, or the wall is going to be extremely clean." I lost it.
4:55 I threw my Nokia 3310 against that wall.
4:58 that effect is used in tank ammo, it isnt used a lot anymore but the projectile is made out of a plastic explosive which hits the target first and spreads out until the fuze at the back hits the target too. (Its called HESH)
These videos fill the hole that was left in my heart after Mythbusters ended
Damn, I miss that show
I tried this at home. Let's just say the landlord is somewhat irate.
...whats left of him you mean 😏🤭

I did it at the church
"The Wet Fart" ! Hilarious. btw - I believe the Shaped Charge would have also benefited from having a water jug behind it. It likely would have benefited if it were attached in a more rigid fashion. As it was, the explosive was pretty much free to push in all directions from the instance of ignition. Having some resistance to hold it in place while that initiates a directional force (the direction with the least initial resistance) would have enabled the shape charge to blast the wall and cut rebar if placed in the right location to hit the rebar.
This goes right into the "useful knowledge I'll likely never use" part of the brain, thank you.
