Application of Wide Band AE Sensor in Model Test of Reinforced Concrete Structures

چکیده
Due to the complicated components of the reinforced concrete, the AE signals produced by the structural model under different loads possess their different characteristics in the time domain and frequency domain. This paper introduces the application of the Model AE-011 Acoustic Emission Test System with its wide band AE sensors to acquire and process the AE signals emitted from the reinforced concrete structure and I-steel specimen under different loads. When the health situation of the structures changes under the load, there is not only the obvious difference on the duration and event count of the AE signal, but also the affinity between the frequency character and the health situation of the structure. When the reinforcing steel bar or metal part of the structure also has the serious deformation, the high frequency component of the signal may reach above 1MHz. The results indicate that it is helpful for the comprehensive and thorough analysis of the damage mechanism of the structure by using the wide band AE sensor in the health monitoring of the reinforced concrete structures.

متن کاملAssessment of Crack Activity by Acoustic Emission in Concrete Structures
Concrete and steel are the most widely used major materials for constructing civil structures such as bridges, dam, and buildings. From the acoustic emission (AE) point of view, contrary to steel itself, a lot of AE signals are acquired in concrete itself under service loads whether the crack is active or not. This paper aims to identify the differences of AE event patterns caused by developing...
