Based on the results of experimental studies of the propagation of bending waves, the ability of the developed technique to assess the strength of a brick treasure is considered. A comparative analysis of the strength of the masonry was carried out using different methods (L.I. Onishchik formula, Eurocode 6). According to the correlation dependencies between the velocity of propa-gation of elastic waves and the strength of masonry, the presented practical data made it possible to prospectively evaluate the method using bending waves in the survey of buildings and struc-tures.
