Assessment of the integrity of concrete bridge structures by acoustic emission technique
This study was aimed at developing a new method for assessing the integrity of concrete structures. Especially acoustic emission technique was used in carrying out both laboratory experiment and field application. From the previous laboratory study, we confirmed that AE analysis provided a promising approach for estimating the level of damage and distress in concrete structures. The Felicity ratio, one of the key parameter for assessing damage, exhibits a favorable correlation with the overall damage level. The total number of AE events under stepwise cyclic loading also showed a good agreement with the damage level. In this study, a new suggested technique was applied to several concrete bridges in Korea in order to verify the applicability in field. The AE response was analyzed to obtain key parameters such as the total number and rate of AE events, AE parameter analysis for each event, and the characteristic features of the waveform as well as Felicity ratio analysis. Stepwise loading-unloading procedure for AE generation was introduced in field test by using each different weight of vehicle. According to the condition of bridge, for instance new or old bridge, AE event rate and AE generation behavior indicated many different aspects. The results showed that the suggested analyzing method would be a promising approach for assessing the integrity of concrete structures.
