Abstract: The acoustic emission (AE) technique is known as a non-destructive testing (NDT) method, which is effective for assessing corrosion in concrete structures. This study aims to utilize the AE technique, for the assessment of pre-corroded concrete specimens, which are under load testing. Experiments were carried out on small-scale pre-corroded specimens, which were subjected to monotonic loading. The results showed that the majority of the beam specimens failed with shear cracks. Three AE parameters, namely acoustic emission hits, as well as the RA and AF values, were also used, in order to assess the flexure behaviour of the pre-corroded beam specimens. These experiments helped to understand the flexural behaviour of pre-corroded specimens, which were under a loading test, via the use of the AE technique.

TL;DR: The eddy current testing (ECT) method is effective in detecting corrosion in steel bars used in reinforced concrete structures. Changes in impedance signals occur when the probe encounters defects/corrosion in the reinforcing steel bars. The higher the level of damage in the specimen, the higher the indication signal height due to changes in impedance.

Crack classification in concrete based on acoustic emission
Kentaro Ohno,Masayasu Ohtsu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two crack classification methods are compared and discussed from results of three types of concrete failure tests, and it is shown that the ratios of the shear crack which are identified by Green's functions for moment tensor analysis are good agreement with those by parameter analysis in the case that the proportion of the RA value and the average frequency is set to 1-200.
