Abstract
The article discusses the features of the destructive and non-destructive testing methods in the framework of forensic construction and technical expertise. Construction inspection of buildings and structures in the course of forensic construction and technical expertise is aimed at determining the characteristics of the actual technical condition, both of the structure itself and of its individual elements and structures. Conducting the objective and reliable research is not possible without accurate measurements, which necessitates the use of various methods, technologies, as well as modern devices and instruments.
Highlights
Forensic construction and technical expertise as a type of forensic engineering and technical expertise plays an important role in the investigation of events that have caused accidents, the occurrence of deformations or the appearance of hidden defects’ external signs in the structures and construction objects’ units [1]
For the purpose of assessing and monitoring reliability, as well as individual properties of construction objects or their individual elements, non-destructive testing methods are actively used, which imply the implementation of measurements without damaging the objects of study and at the same time allow obtaining reliable characteristics of the parameters that determine the technical condition of the objects to be inspected
Modern practice of forensic construction and technical expertise shows that often the subject of investigation and court proceedings are the events that have caused accidents, deformations or the appearance of hidden defects’ external signs in structures and units of construction objects
Summary
Forensic construction and technical expertise as a type of forensic engineering and technical expertise plays an important role in the investigation of events that have caused accidents, the occurrence of deformations or the appearance of hidden defects’ external signs in the structures and construction objects’ units [1]. Control is important at all stages of the life cycle of buildings and structures [2]. When inspecting a building in the process of construction and technical expertise, there are two main ways to control the quality of building materials, products and structures: destructive and non-destructive [3]. The main task of control is to ensure safety during the facility operation [4]. Destructive testing serves to quantify the maximum load, after which the destruction of the element under study occurs [5]. To ensure the safety and high quality of construction work, in many cases, non-destructive testing methods are used, the main tasks of which are to identify defects of various kinds, control the compliance of the work performed with norms and standards, check the reliability and identify the geometric characteristics of the object
