Currently, bitumen-polymer roofing materials are used in the construction of various types of buildings and structures, which have sufficient strength characteristics, wear resistance, water resistance and are convenient for installation. The mechanical properties of bitumen-polymer materials are significantly affected by the operating temperature. Of scientific interest is the analysis of the possibility of restoring the integrity of bitumen-polymer roofing materials at elevated temperatures, damaged as a result of mechanical stress at subzero temperatures. The article presents the results of testing the flexibility of samples of roofing bitumen-polymer materials at subzero temperatures. The samples that were damaged during the test were subjected to subsequent heating in a temperature chamber in order to identify the possibility of restoring the integrity of the material and the temperature at which the restoration would occur. The analysis of the test results showed the possibility of restoring the integrity of the material and the direct dependence of the quality of restoration of integrity on the heating temperature of the material.

In accordance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 384-FZ, the safety and reliability of buildings and structures must be ensured. One of the ways to confirm the safety and reliability of building structures is to conduct field tests. The authors of this article have developed a method for full-scale testing of a reinforced concrete beam with a span of 14.52 m as part of a monolithic reinforced concrete ribbed floor. The procedure for testing the beam was drawn up with the development of measures to ensure safety during work, the adjustment of the beam testing method by loading was performed, the beam was tested by loading method with fixation of its deflections, followed by analysis of the test results. The test results showed that the developed method can be used as a full-scale test to confirm the safety and reliability of building structures, namely horizontal reinforced concrete structures.
