Abstract

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring studies have been carried out under controlled laboratory conditions on plain concrete beams and reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The results of AE statistics have revealed interesting features of the various stages of stress induced micro- fracturing and growth leading to the failure of plain concrete beams and RC beams. The experimental details, results and their applications are presented in this article.
