Signal-Based Acoustic Emission Clustering for Differentiation of Damage Sources in Corroding Reinforced Concrete Beams

Monitoring Damage Using Acoustic Emission Source Location and Computational Geometry in Reinforced Concrete Beams

Non-destructive testing in reinforced concrete (RC) for damage detection is still limited to date. In monitoring the damage in RC, 18 beam specimens with varying water cement ratios and reinforcements were casted and tested using a four-point bending test. Repeated step loads were designed and at each step load acoustic emission (AE) signals were recorded and processed to obtain the acoustic em...

Acoustic Emission for Monitoring Damage Ac- cumulation in Reinforced Concrete Structures

Acoustic emission (AE) analysis is a good tool for monitoring the formation of damage in a structure. A loading experiment with a reinforced concrete beam was carried out and the obtained AE data were analyzed in order to get information about the internal processes of deterioration. Events could be localized, and their estimated source coordinates coincide with the developing crack planes. The...

Damage Source Identification of Reinforced Concrete Structure Using Acoustic Emission Technique

Acoustic emission (AE) technique is one of the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques that have been considered as the prime candidate for structural health and damage monitoring in loaded structures. This technique was employed for investigation process of damage in reinforced concrete (RC) frame specimens. A number of reinforced concrete RC frames were tested under loading cycle and were ...
