description

This paper presents a study on the use of acoustic emission (AE) to assess the structural soundness of concrete reinforced with chemically bonded anchors. The results of an experimental work based on six pullout tests monitored using AE are reported. In every test one rebar was embedded in hardened concrete by means of polyester resin. The AE was adopted to monitor the onset and progression of structural damage. The parametric analysis and the moment tensor analysis of AE data were used to discriminate among different sources of damage.
