The article presents a comparative analysis of the results of verification calculations of a monolithic reinforced concrete floor slab and full-scale tests, and also formulates the main factors affecting the accuracy of determining the bearing capacity of monolithic reinforced concrete structures when performing verification calculations. In accordance with regulatory documentation, the bearing capacity of building structures is determined by performing verification calculations according to current design standards and conducting full-scale tests (if necessary) to confirm the bearing capacity established by the calculations. In modern practice of technical inspection, full-scale tests are extremely rare due to their high labor intensity and the complexity of interpreting the results. However, it is full-scale tests that allow the most accurate determination of the bearing capacity of a structure. This makes it possible to correctly assess the technical condition, optimize the development of strengthening projects due to a reasonable choice of method, accurate calculation of the required volumes of work and, as a result, minimize material costs.
