Abstract. The article presents the testing technique and the results of experimental studies of strength and deformation, as well as the structural and mechanical characteristics of structural expanded clay concrete of a dense structure under monotonous and low-cycle loading in compression and tension by a complex of physical methods (tensometric, ultrasonic pulsed and acoustic emission). Diagrams of deformation, the speed of passage of ultrasound and the number of acoustic pulses from the stress level are obtained. Empirical formulas are proposed for determining the boundaries of microcrack formation in expanded clay concrete.

Keywords: expanded clay concrete, compression, tension, monotonous and low-cycle loading, microcracking boundaries, complex of physical methods.
