On-site detection of degradation in reinforced concrete structures in operational conditions using the acoustic emission technique KU Leuven
Worldwide, deterioration of reinforced concrete structures (RC) calls for effective methods to detect damage and evaluate the efficiency of repair interventions. In the viewpoint of efficient inspection, the acoustic emission (AE) technique is an ideal choice as it allows nondestructive and continuous monitoring of the structure. However, the potential to detect deterioration of RC structures under operational conditions has not been fully ...
