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. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 858334. The French title of this paper is:- Evaluation de l'emission acoustique des structures en beton. The German title of this paper is:- Bewertung der akustischen Emission einer Betonstruktur.
