Effect of Concrete Mixture Composition on Acoustic Emission and Fracture Parameters Obtained from Three-Point Bending Test

Abstract:

This paper reports the analysis of acoustic emission signals captured during three-point bending fracture tests of concrete specimens with different mixture composition. Acoustic emission is an experimental tool well suited for monitoring fracture processes in material. The typical acoustic emission patterns were identified in the acoustic emission records for three different concrete mixtures to further describe the under-the-stress behaviour and failure development. An understanding of microstructure–performance relationships is the key to true understanding of material behaviour. The acoustic emission results are accompanied by fracture parameters determined via evaluation of load versus deflection diagrams recorded during three-point bending fracture tests.
