Acoustic Emission Characterization and Cracking Characteristics of Reinforced Concrete Pipe
Acoustic emission (AE) and digital image correlation (DIC) technology were used in this study to monitor the behavior of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) in the optimized three-edge bearing test (TEBT). At the same time, the AE source location of different pipe sections was simulated. The results show that the whole compressive loading process for RCP could be divided into 3 to 4 stages. Both the AE counts and AE energy could well characterize the cracking of concrete, and AE energy was more sensitive to the breaking of steel bar. The amplitude and duration of AE signal produced by the breaking of steel bar were larger than those produced by the cracking of concrete. The AE frequency for concrete cracking was relatively scattered. The AE frequency for steel bar breaking was small and concentrated, and this frequency distribution showed an exponential decreasing trend. The results of optimized AE source location showed that the generation and development of cracks occur in the initial loading stage. The results of multi-index analysis showed that the cracks in the top (loading position) and the bottom (bearing position) of the RCP show that the cracks extend from the inner wall to the outer wall, while the cracks on the left and right sides perpendicular to the loading direction show that the cracks extend from the outer wall to the inner wall.
