Application features of the engineering seismometric method of survey and monitoring the technical condition of buildings and structures

This paper considers the history of the development and using the engineering seismometric method of the examination and monitoring of buildings and structures for various purposes. The sequence of seismometric surveys and the justification of the process of periodic or continuous monitoring the technical condition by the changing of dynamic and elastic characteristics of the object is shown. Based on the long-term work experience, the authors presented the main mistakes made during the seismometric surveys and monitoring the technical condition of buildings and structures.
