Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

To assess the condition of the structures of buildings and structures, a comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting their performance characteristics - concrete strength, protective layer, and rebar diameter, thermal conductivity and moisture content of concrete, adhesion of protective and facing coatings, frost resistance and water resistance of concrete - is required. However, with all the variety of monitored parameters the control of concrete strength has a special place because when assessing the condition of the structure the determining factor is the compliance of the actual strength of concrete to the design requirements. This paper presents studies on the determination of concrete strength based on modern technology, wireless sensor as well as instrumentation IPS. These methods are particularly effective in the case of non-linear relationships between different system parameters, as in the behavior of concrete parameters. They can also provide rapid measurements by continuously monitoring the internal condition of the reinforced concrete structure. The found graduation dependences and determination coefficients equal to 0.9234 and 0.9702 justify the convergence of the results of the two methods of strength gain control.
