Title

Damage Assessment Of Reinforced Concrete Structures Through Acoustic Emission Monitoring

Abstract

Progressive cracking and damage in 200 reinforced concrete beams were studied through acoustic emission (AE) testing under monotonically increasing three-point loading conditions. Various concrete curing times, the amount of tension and compression steel reinforcement, and the addition of polypropylene fibers to the concrete mix were considered. For a given reinforcement condition, it was found that distributions of almost all examined parameters were almost identical in all tested concrete beams. The peak energy rate and event level were also found to characterize the physical conditions of a concrete beam at different loading stages and reinforcement conditions.
