Conclusions
-
1.
The new instruments introduced on the concrete arch dam of the Chirkey hydrostation can be recommended for wide use in nondestructive methods of service checking of the state of the concrete of hydraulic structures when evaluating their reliability and safety.
-
2.
The adopted method of nondestructive testing of the physical and mechanical characteristics of concrete with time objectively reveals their change; it is recommended for on-site investigations of the condition of concrete of all sections of the Chirkey dam.
