Relevance
Traditional methods of concrete strength control do not give a full dynamic view of the internal processes occurring in the body of the structure. Also, due to the considerable laboriousness and cost, the control of strength development using standard samples and non-destructive testing devices is often limited to only three measurements on days 3, 7 and 28, excluding the possibility of monitoring. These shortcomings can be compensated for by using built-in sensors that continuously measure the internal characteristics of concrete during hardening, allowing for strength control and monitoring of the structure in real time. The sensors planned for development within the framework of this project are focused on import substitution of its foreign counterparts, and will differ in lower cost and expanded functionality.

Objectives
Development and pilot industrial implementation of a built-in sensor for wireless non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete structures, which allows monitoring data on the current strength of concrete, internal temperature and humidity using special software.

Information for potential users
The social effect expected from the project is the creation of new jobs. The adjustment of the production line and the sale of sensors across the territory of Kazakhstan stimulates the opening of offices in various regions, thereby providing jobs for the local population.
