Strength test of the industrial building’s load-bearing structures

Abstract

Experimental studies were carried out in the molding shop. Tests were carried out for brickwork materials of enclosing walls by the shock pulse method. The compressive strength grades of ceramic brick fences and cement-sand mortar were determined experimentally. When testing concrete, a non-destructive strength control method and the necessary devices were used. The concrete class was determined by compressive strength in reinforced concrete columns of the building, in reinforced concrete beams of the coating and in reinforced concrete slabs of the coating. According to the proposed methodology, verification calculations were carried out. The verification calculations showed sufficient bearing capacity of the columns and foundations of the workshop building and the coating beams for the full design load. A calibration calculation of the workshop frame was also performed, which showed sufficient strength of the entire load-bearing structures of an industrial building. The proposed methodology can be used for testing similar building materials and objects.
