Crack diagnostics in a large-scale reinforced concrete structure based on the analysis of vibration processes

Verification of the mathematical model describing the dynamic deformation processes in the reinforced concrete structure is carried out by comparing the experimental and numerical data. The proposed model served as a basis for a series of numerical experiments that allowed us to develop an algorithm for vibrodiagnostics of cracking. Within the framework of this algorithm, an informative diagnostic parameter allowing control over the processes of nucleation and growth of cracks in a reinforced concrete structure is proposed.
