Acoustic Emission Monitoring of the Fracture Behaviour of Concrete containing various size and shape of glass aggregates
نویسنده
چکیده
Acoustic Emission monitoring during three-point load test on concrete blocks prepared using variety of glass aggregates indicates that the mode and nature of crack initiation and propagation is highly dependent on the composition and the type of aggregates. The mechanism of crack arresting and bridging can only be investigated using Acoustic Emission. The results obtained are encouraging and lead to increased understanding of cracking mechanism in concrete containing various types of aggregates, in particular, utilisation of waste materials to manufacture environmentally friendly concrete.
