Original Abstract

Acoustic Emission Method (AE) is a non-destructive testing with potential applications for locating and monitoring cracks during structural health management. In this paper, the AE signal properties for identifying the presence of an initial crack are used. AE signals generated under different loading patterns can provide valuable information concerning the structural integrity of a material. The experimental investigation from uniform cyclic loading tests performed on concrete specimens indicated that onset of crack can be identified of AE measurement. Each test specimen was subjected to cyclic loading with the loading force equivalent to one-third of the expected compressive strength value. The total number of loading cycles was one thousand. The AE method has significant potential to be used for in-situ monitoring and evaluation of the current state of structures.
