“…Visual observations in laboratory tests and, also those made in situ at bridge structures, indicate that for Zonal location it is possible to determine areas of crack growth (Class 4 signals for concrete structures and Class 2 signals for steel structures), and when monitoring is conducted -to trace the growth of those areas [20].…”

“…Reference databases were classified on the basis of twelve parameters of the AE signal and denoted as Classes [15,16,[19][20][21]: Class 1 -Micro-cracks in the concrete at the interface of the small-sized (Φ ≤ 2 mm) aggregate fraction and cement paste, Class 2 -Micro-cracks in the concrete at the boundary of the medium-and small-sized (Φ ≤ 8 mm) aggregate fraction, Class 3 -Crack initiation in the concrete tension zone, Class 4 -Crack development, Class 5 -Cracking at the concrete-reinforcement interface, Class 6 -Plastic deformation of steel and concrete, Class 7 -Concrete delamination, Class 8 -Rupture of prestressed tendons.…”

Abstract. In this paper, a global monitoring system based on the measurement of acoustic emission (AE) due to active deterioration processes is presented. This allows us to examine the entire volume of an element and to locate and identify the type and the dynamics of the deterioration processes under service conditions. The resulting data are used to determine and locate the damage processes that are dangerous in construction made of pre-stress concrete, steel and fiber glass and to assess the general condition of the structure.

“…Quiviger et al (2010) proposed to use the nondestructive ultrasonic echo method to identify macrononhomogeneities and macrocracks in concrete members. In Garbacz and Piotrowski (2010), Krause et al (2005) and Taffe, Wiggenhauser (2006) it is proposed to use the impactecho method for this purpose. In Davis (2003), Davis et al (1996) Hertlein, Davis (1998) and Ottosen et al (2004) the nondestructive impulse response method is recommended for locating defects in concrete In the literature, one cannot find any study dealing with the identification and location of defects in the form of excessively porous concrete in unilaterally accessible massive concrete members, for which purpose, at least two of the above nondestructive acoustic methods, for example, the impulse response method and the ultrasonic tomography method, would be used sim ultaneously.…”

Abstract. The paper deals with the nondestructive identification of defective concrete zones in unilaterally accessible massive members, for example, access galleries in hydroelectric power plants. The concrete in such zones is, for various reasons, excessively porous. The authors propose to use state-of-the-art acoustic testing techniques, including ultrasonic tomography, integratively to detect and identify defective zones. An original methodology for such tests has been developed. The methodology is illustrated with an example of its practical application to a real civil engineering structure.

Dynamic loads are all forces acting on the structure, which are characterised by variability in a short period of time in relation to the essential dynamic characteristics (a period of natural vibrations) of the loaded structure. The use of materials with appropriate parameters is required for the construction of dynamically loaded structures, as it allows to reduce crack formation in the material structure. Reinforced concrete (RC) is an essential and widely used construction material for dynamic load‐bearing structures. Therefore, the most important physical parameters of materials used for the construction of RC structures, subjected to dynamic loads, are described in this paper. The significant physical parameters of concrete, affecting the work of dynamically loaded reinforced concrete structures, include dynamic coefficient of concrete elasticity, vibration energy absorption, dumping coefficient, and fatigue strength.
