Abstract

The acoustic emission(AE) behavior of reinforced concrete slab under flexural loading was investigated to assess the integrity. This study was aimed at identifying the characteristics of AE response associated with damage development. By applying cyclic loading in various load steps, it was able to differentiate each AE source such as distributed micro crack initiation, friction, flexural crack and localized diagonal tension crack. The secondary peak and the change of AE hit rate gave valuable criteria fur assessment. From the analysis of the felicity ratio, furthermore, it was shown that this values can be used for evaluating the degree of concrete damage. Based on the experimental results, this approach for practical AE application may provide a promising method for estimating the level of damage and distress in concrete structures.

공용중인 콘크리트 구조물의 건전성 평가를 위해서는 하중 증가에 따른 내부의 변형특성 및 손상을 예측하고 비 파괴적으로 상시 모니터링 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 철근 콘크리트 슬래브 시편을 대상으로 단계별 하중 재하(loading, holding, unloading)에 따른 음향방출 실험을 실시하였으며 휨 시험하의 인장균열, 전단균열 및 철근 콘크리트의 부착 상태, 반복하중에 의한 AE 신호의 특징과 신호 발생 양상을 분석하였다. 또한 음향방출법(a.oustic emission)에 있어 손상 정도를 유추할 수 있는 대표적 인자인 Felicity ratio를 분석하여 콘크리트 구조물의 상시감시 및 안전진단에 음향방출 기술을 적용하기 위한 분석기법을 제시하고자 한다.
