THE METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION OF AERATED CONCRETE PRODUCTS WHEN INSTALLING THE WHOLE BY PARTS AS PART OF A TRACEOLOGICAL STUDY

Abstract

In a scientific article in the context of researching building materials (products) with a porous internal
structure (products made of aerated concrete), for the purpose of establishing a whole according to its parts, which
will expand the possibilities of the direction of traceological research and contribute to the creation of a more solid
foundation of the evidence base in criminal proceedings, the feasibility of developing and introducing a new method
of identifying individual parts as a whole using their internal porous structure when establishing the whole by its
parts within the judicial traceological examination. The reliability of the obtained results and conclusions is ensured
by the use of general scientific and specialized methods of cognition. The object and subject of the research were
chosen dialectically, its purpose and tasks were motivated; by the means of analysis and generalization, the necessary
substantiation was carried out on the basis of the theory of production of aerated concrete; the mechanism of pore
formation in the internal structure of aerated concrete products was studied using the structural-functional method;
combining parts of aerated concrete with each other was carried out by the expert experiment method; with the
application of the method of microscopic research, the dimensional characteristics and mutual arrangement of
pores on the research objects and fragments (pieces) and their structure were studied, according to the results of
which converged individual (identification) signs were established in the places of separation of such products. The
scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that a new method of identification was theoretically substantiated,
methodologically developed and experimentally tested in a specific expert procedure when determining the whole
by its parts during trasological research. Additionally, the necessity to expand the methods of forensic traceological
examination based on the study of modern features of criminal offenses has been proven. It has been proven that
the introduction of a new method of identification into expert practice when determining the whole by its parts
during traceological research will increase the potential of one of the fundamental branches of forensics – traceology.
The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the developed recommendations can serve as the basis
for methodological recommendations for the examination of fragments (samples) of aerated concrete products for
forensic experts of expert institutions and law enforcement officers
