AE in Concrete

AE techniques have been extensively studied in concrete engineering since early 1950s. Nowadays, several monitoring tasks are casually performed in large scale, since recently AE tests in concrete are standardized. Others are being developed in laboratory conditions aiming at pushing the limits of reliable characterization. This chapter offers the basic uses, trends and applications of AE in concrete. Issues like damage accumulation, localization, characterization of cracking modes in failure process, corrosion of reinforcement, fatigue, damage and fracture mechanics are discussed in association with ISO standards of AE in concrete.
