Scope1.1 This guide describes the application of acoustic emis-sion (AE) technology for examination of concrete and rein-forced concrete structures

3、 during or after construction, or inservice.1.2 Structures under consideration include but are not lim-ited to buildings, bridges, hydraulic structures, tunnels, decks,pre/post-tensioned (PT) structures, piers, nuclear containmentunits, storage tanks, and associated structural elements.1.3 AE examin

4、ations may be conducted periodically (short-term) or monitored continuously (long-term), under normalservice conditions or under specially designed loading proce-dures. Examples of typical examinations are the detection ofgrowing cracks in structures or their elements under normalservice conditions

5、or during controlled load testing, long termmonitoring of pre-stressed cables, and establishing safe opera-tional loads.1.4 AE examination results are achieved through detection,location, and characterization of active AE sources withinconcrete and reinforced concrete. Such sources include micro-and

7、on. Other AE source mechanisms include corrosion ofrebar or other metal parts, corrosion and rupture of cables inpre-stressed concrete, as well as friction due to structuralmovement or instability, or both.1.5 This guide discusses selection of the AE apparatus,setup, system performance verification,

8、 detection and process-ing of concrete damage related AE activity.

Significance and Use5.1 Real-time detection and assessment of cracks and otherflaws in concrete structures is of great importance.Anumber ofmethods have been developed and standardized in recentdecades for non-destructive evaluation of concrete structures aswell as methods for in-p

20、lace evaluation of concrete properties.Review of some of these methods can be found in ACI228.2R-13, ACI 228.1R-03, and ACI 437R-03. They includevisual inspection, stress-wave methods such as impact echo,pulse velocity, impulse response, nuclear methods, active andpassive infrared thermography, grou

21、nd-penetrating radar andothers. These methods in most of the cases are not used foroverall inspection of the concrete structure due to limitedaccessibility, significant thickness of concrete components, orother reasons and are not applied for continuous long-termmonitoring. Further, these methods ca

22、nnot be utilized forestimation of flaw propagation rate or evaluation of flawsensitivity to operational level loads or environmental changes,or both.5.2 In addition to the previously mentioned non-destructivetests methods, vibration, displacement, tilt, shock, strainmonitoring, and other methods hav

23、e been applied to monitor,periodically or continuously, various factors that can affect theintegrity of concrete structures during operation. However,these methods monitor risk factors that are not necessarilyassociated with actual damage accumulation in the monitoredstructures.5.3 Monitoring the ho

24、rizontal (opening) or vertical displace-ment of existing cracks can be performed as well usingdifferent technologies. These may include moving scales (Fig.1), vibrating wire, draw wire, or other crack opening displace-ment meters, optical and digital microscopes, strain gages, orvisual assessment. H

33、 AE examination of concrete structuresincludes the following principal steps. As decisions are madeunder these steps (7.1.1 7.1.4), a test procedure or instructionshall be written, based on those steps, to guide the fieldactivities.7.1.1 Defining the goal(s) of the examination.7.1.2 Developing an un

34、derstanding of the structural system,material properties, and flaw characteristics.7.1.3 Selection of the operational, load, and environmentalconditions for conducting the examination.7.1.4 Selection of suitable equipment and sensor installationmethods.7.1.5 System performance verification.7.1.6 Fie

35、ld examination and post examination system per-formance verification.7.1.7 Data analysis, interpretation, and assessment.7.1.8 Reporting.8. Defining Goals of the Examination8.1 Prior to conducting an AE examination or AE structuralhealth monitoring of a concrete structure, it is necessary todefine t

36、he primary goals and the scope of the examinationtogether with a designer or operator of the structure, or both(1).7Success of the examination is defined as the degree towhich the goals of the examination is achieved.8.2 The way in which AE technology is applied can varywith different goals. Example

37、s of primary goals are:8.2.1 Evaluation of known crack development under spe-cific load conditions.8.2.2 Characterization of mechanical and fracture mechan-ics properties of concrete members used in a structure.8.2.3 Establishment of safe loads/operational conditions.8.2.4 Prediction of ultimate loa

38、ds.8.3 Primary examination goals can be achieved when atleast one or several of the following objectives are addressed:8.3.1 Detection of active concrete cracking and other flaw-indications in the structure.8.3.2 Location of flaw-indications.8.3.3 Identification of flaw-indications, for example, ide

39、nti-fication of tensile or shear concrete micro-cracking, corrosiondamage, and others (2-4).8.3.4 Assessment of flaw-indications, for example damagequalification of reinforced concrete beams subjected to re-peated loading (3).8.3.5 Structural integrity diagnostics and establishment ofserviceability.

40、8.3.6 Prediction of ultimate loads.9. Understanding the Structure, Material Properties, andFlaw Characteristics9.1 Correct interpretation of AE results for source mecha-nism identification, flaw-indication assessment and diagnosticsdepends on satisfactory knowledge of the examined structure,examinat

41、ion conditions (including environmental), understand-ing the material properties of the structure, manufacturingmethods and material behavior under stress. Therefore, prior toan acoustic emission examination, it is recommended to obtainthe following information:9.1.1 Structural Information:9.1.1.1 T

42、he function of the structure and its design includingdetailed drawings, if available.9.1.1.2 Operational/stress/environmental conditions andother factors that may contribute to flaw origination anddevelopment.9.1.1.3 Results of previous NDT examinations, includingthe location and nature of known fla

43、w indications (if any).9.1.1.4 Statistics of failures of similar structures, typicalflaws, possible location of flaws and expected rate of flawpropagation.9.1.1.5 Factors that can contribute to flaw origination anddevelopment (deformation, support instability, known or sus-pected design errors, etc.

44、).9.1.1.6 Wave propagation characteristics in the structure(propagation modes, velocities, attenuation characteristics, ef-fects of anisotropy, etc.).9.1.2 Material Information:7The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.E3100 1739.1.2.1 Materials us

45、ed (concrete and reinforcing steel), re-lated properties, manufacturing methods, and processes.9.1.2.2 Potential failure mechanisms.9.1.3 Examination Conditions:9.1.3.1 Possible sources of noise and other conditions thatmay affect the examination.9.2 Laboratory or full scale tests, or both, can prov

46、idesignificant portions of the above required information. Testscan be conducted on specimens or structural elements, or both,such as beams, columns, or full-sized structural systems withor without flaws to develop the ability to detect, identify andassess/classify specific flaws in the target struc

47、ture. Normallyflawless concrete cubic or cylindrical specimens (taken fromthe target structure or specially prepared) are examined tobetter understand initiation and development of flaws up tofailure and to study load bearing capabilities of materials;whereas flawed specimens are examined to study f

48、law-detection capabilities byAE testing or to evaluate sustainabilityof materials with damage. In addition, standard examination ofconcrete cores taken from the examined structure, togetherwith AE measurement, is recommended to identify the condi-tion and quality of the concrete (for example concret

49、e unifor-mity or presence of internal flaws like segregations andhoneycombing), identify possible concrete age relateddegradation, and possible deviation from the designed proper-ties.9.3 AE signals acquired during testing of small scale speci-mens can be affected by reflections, different geometric/sizeeffects on flaw development, and other factors. Therefore, inevery test it is necessary to find invariant qualitative orquantitative AE characteristics that can be usefully applied forexamination of real structures. Examples of such invariantcharacteristics are:9.3.1 Stress
