The cracks opening monitoring in the museum building during the Poshtova Square reconstruction in Kyiv

In recent years a sharp raise of public and scientific attention to the environmental monitoring is observed. This is caused by the demand for the new and higher organizational and technical level of solving the problems related to its changes. According to the current regulatory documents, during the design, construction and operation of buildings and structures their scientific and technical support should be ensured. One of the main tasks of scientific and technical support is to monitor the technical condition and current information about the deformations and stresses that occur in building structures. In many cases, these deformations lead to the building structures damage, emergencies, and a significant decrease in the building reliability. The theoretical justification of the monitoring concept is based on the necessity of the complex system creation for collecting, accumulating, processing and using information, which should be accumulated in automatic mode by means of various sensors or control and measuring devices in the form of a database revealing the stress-deformed state of building structures. In recent years, in the State Enterprise "The State Research Institute of Building Structures" a lot of attention was paid to both regulatory and methodological support and practical implementation of monitoring systems.
