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 it is necessary to perform a comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting their performance characteristics - concrete strength, thermal conductivity and humidity of concrete, frost resistance, and water resistance. However, with a variety of controllable parameters the control of concrete strength takes a special place because the main factor of structure condition estimation is the correspondence of actual concrete strength to the design requirements. The paper presented the basic methods of concrete strength control which are used while examining the constructions of buildings and structures. The results of the experiments comparing the data obtained by destructive, non-destructive, and alternative methods were investigated. A wireless sensor of concrete strength, produced in Kazakhstan, was used when carrying out the tests with the use of smart technology. And the graphical quantitative-qualitative method "web" used by the authors allowed to determine and identify the features of each method.
