Application Acoustic Emission Method and Impedance Spectroscopy for Monitoring Concrete During Hardening

Abstract:

It is known that concrete is one of the most popular building materials nowadays. There are many traditional, mainly destructive methods for monitoring its properties during its lifetime. It is clear that its properties depend significantly on the composition of concrete mixture. Concrete lifetime depends mainly on curing during the first 7 days after making the mixture. The paper shows the possibilities of applying Acoustic Emission and Impedance Spectroscopy methods during the early age of concrete.
