Concrete Damage Detection Based on Embedded Acoustic Emission Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new kind of embedded acoustic emission (AE) sensor has been developed and it was made up of 1-3 cement-based piezoelectric composites. Compared with those sensors which were traditionally affixed to concrete structures, the embedded AE sensors could minimize the leakage of AE hits and improve the accuracy of data acquisition. The AE thresholds of the sensors are 45dB and they can perceive the position of source and crack extending areas in concrete. Because of the low operation cost, the admirable compatibility with concrete and the excellent durability, the sensors could be widely used in the monitoring of civil structure.
