ACOUSTIC EMISSION EVALUATION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES

This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the degree of structural integrity using acoustic emission measurement as a method of nondestructive inspection. According to the results, the following possibilities of acoustic emission measurement were confirmed: to predict the generation of cracks during a month after placing of mass concrete; and to evaluate the deterioration degree of aged concrete structures.

The German title of this paper is:- Bewertung der akustischen Emission einer Betonstruktur.
