Sažetak
The Old Bridge in Mostar with its elegant arch of a span of 28.6m was built in the XVI century and was on the UNSECO cultural heritage list. During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina the crown of the Old arch bridge in Mostar from the XVI century has been torn down. The measures for its reconstruction have been started trying to use most of the old remnants. The abutments on both sides have withstood and the bridge reconstruction has started by analyzing their current state. Several non-destructive methods (seismic refraction with the tomographic analysis, seismic refraction inside the infill, ultrasonic tests on the stone and mortar structure and vide-endoscopy) have been tried out in order to ascertain their present state. Especially good results have been obtained by combining the seismic refraction with tomographic analysis, ultrasound and video-endoscopy. Ultrasonic tests on the masonry structure have helped to establish the importance of mortar to the results of the seismic tomograpy. The combined results gave very good overview of the state of each of the support walls, which enabled selective approach to the wall rehabilitation according to their particular state. Video-endoscopy and seismic refraction have indicating on the poor connection among the stones in the support walls.
