Assessing the bond behaviour of corroded smooth and ribbed rebars with acoustic emission monitoring KU Leuven
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Corrosion of the reinforcement is one of the major deterioration problems in existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. One of the important damage modes is the deterioration of the bond between steel and concrete. In this paper, the acoustic emission (AE) technique is evaluated for damage detection, characterisation and localisation during the corrosion process and during pull-out tests. AE monitoring is applied during ...
