Analysis methods of Acoustic Emission signal for monitoring of reinforced concrete structure: A review

摘要

This paper summarized two types of modern Acoustic Emission Analysis (AEA) for damage detection of reinforced concrete (RC) structure beneficially to accelerate analysis part particularly for newly researcher; namely wavelet and b-value analyses. Both methods are based on analysing of acoustic emission (AE) signals. The concept and significant of these methods also have been described in detail to give clear picture regarding to the structural performance assessment. The derivation of specific formulas and case studies based on other researchers work also included to prove the applicability and effectiveness of the chosen AE analyses. Applications of these AE analyses in RC structure also have been discussed and future research work has been recommended.
