Conclusions
These experiments make it possible to recommend the ultrasonic impulse technique in checking and defectoscopy of connecting joints in sectional monolithic hydraulic structures. This technique yields industrially reliable results without disturbing the continuity of the structures. Ultrasonic defectoscopy of joints was adopted as a principal mass-application checking method in construction of the Saratov Hydroelectric Station.
