Description
Steel reinforced concrete specimens of loaded and unloaded
configuration were placed in contact with seawater in a state of
accelerated corrosion. They were simultaneously monitored for acoustic
emission and the results were analyzed in an evaluation of the use of
acoustic emission as a nondestructive monitor of corrosion induced
cracking. It was shown that, in a laboratory environment, counts and
amplitude information are sensitive indicators of the levels of
cracking within the concrete specimen; and thereby the degree of
corrosion damage may be inferred. Analytical models applicable to the
representation of acoustic emission amplitude distribution are
discussed also.
