Abstract

Adequate reflection of material properties by modern methods and devices is difficult. In addition, standardized methods do not allow to build an automated system for monitoring material properties during operation. Developing a monitoring system based on proper determination of the physical and mechanical characteristics of structural materials while the structure is in use could ensure the trouble-free operation, as well as determine the residual life buildings and structures. The research results allow us to establish the compliance of the methods for determining the properties of concrete with the control tasks and determine the limits of applicability of research methods. It is necessary to improve the accuracy of determining the physical and mechanical characteristics of reinforced concrete structures. This can be implemented by improving the method of non-destructive testing, taking into account the influence of significant factors. Systems for monitoring the properties of materials based on improved non-destructive testing methods allow to provide the SMART HOUSE system with sufficient stability and durability.
