The task of identifying the properties of concrete and the location of damage in the layout structures of the beam type based on the application of experimental vibration analysis is considered. As a simple analysis model, beam constructions are defect-free and with defects. Based on the experimental approach, the model oscillations with shock and vibration excitation are analyzed. Based on analytical modeling, the dynamic modulus of elasticity, the speed of sound in the beam, the location of the defect are calculated. A technique and an example of determining the location of a defect in beam-type structures is presented. The article was published as part of the implementation of the program of the International Forum "Victorious May 1945"

The article presents and studies the theoretical foundations of vibration and centrifugal compaction of heavy concrete in the production technology of building products and structures. Attention is paid to such a technique as vibropressing. The physical entity is described, the phenomena of the processes occurring during the molding of such products and structures are disclosed. The influence of dispersed reinforcement of vibrated and centrifuged concretes by various types of fiber fibers on their coefficient of structural quality is considered and evaluated.
