Review article

The article considers the technique of controlling the strength of materials of slab-type structures, namely, the brickwork, taking into account the flexural wave velocities, at using the impact wave method. Experimental studies were carried out on full-scale objects, taking into account the information about the materials of the structures (density, Poisson's ratio, etc.). The presented approach makes it possible to effectively determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of a slab-type structure from the dispersion curves of flexural waves in its material. Based on the test results, it is possible to make a conclusion about the structure condition and develop recommendations for strengthening and reconstructing the structure.
