SEGMENT METHOD FOR ENCLOSURE STRUCTURE STRENGTH DETERMINATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N33/38 G01N3/34 G01M7/08 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: in the surveyed enclosure structure location, two cores are sampled at the entire masonry depth, the first core is taken in the middle of the outer brick row stretcher side, the second core is taken so that the grout layer was in the center of the core. Each obtained core is cut into cylinders, each cylinder undergoes strength testing by the shock pulse method, wherein the first core cylinder is struck only on the brick surface, and the second core cylinder is struck only on the grout surface. After testing, cylinders are laid in a place of their selection in the enclosure structure using a grout. Based on the measured strength values masonry structure compressive strength is calculated for in each layer corresponding to the cylinder arrangement.

EFFECT: improved accuracy of masonry enclosure structure strength characteristics calculation due to the possibility to determine the strength of all its layers along the structure cross-section by measuring the strength of samples taken at the entire masonry depth, and without loss of structural strength.
