ON THE QUESTION OF DIGITALIZATION OF METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE

In today's world there is a rapid digitalization of many processes around us, ranging from various financial services, online shopping, paperwork, etc. The so-called Industry 4.0 approach is no longer a novelty in the industry, when to optimize and improve certain production processes, the necessary parameters that form the basis for the Business Information Model (BIM) of an enterprise are thoroughly monitored. In this regard, it seems very strange the fact that digitalization has not come to determine the strength of concrete during construction works. This is especially surprising given the absolutely obvious factor of scalability of this process, from a commercial point of view, when every time pouring fresh concrete, it is necessary to determine its strength, calling specialists from certified laboratories who take samples and test them in the press. Objective is to study the existing means of monitoring the condition of concrete, based on exclusively open printed sources and knowledge of the physical principles behind each of the existing methods for determining the strength of concrete, for the development of multiparameter equipment. The analysis of methods and equipment for control and prediction of concrete strength is performed. Ways of combining methods to ensure the reliability of the results are proposed.
