Improving monitoring robustness with embedded AE sensors for damage detection in deteriorated reinforced concrete

The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven successful in detecting various AE sources in reinforced concrete (RC), ranging from crack growth due to mechanical loading to corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Most research, however, has focused on small specimens in laboratory conditions, with monitoring durations...

Insights from acoustic emission monitoring of damage caused by a slow steel corrosion process in reinforced concrete beams

Reinforcement corrosion significantly affects the structural integrity and service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Although acoustic emission (AE) monitoring enables early damage detection and localization, its use during slow natural corrosion and in noisy outdoor environments remains challenging. This st...

Development of a kinematic model for concrete cover spalling considering internal pressure

Concrete cover spalling can be caused by several reasons, one of which is spalling related to reinforcement‐induced stresses. In this work, in particular spalling induced by a uniform radial pressure, which is relatable to a corroding rebar or bond pull‐out failure, is considered. Based on the kinematic theorem, two...
