  • Short-term AE Monitoring to Identifying ASR Progression in Concrete Structures
    Publication number: 20230087465
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods based on acoustic emission (AE) technology to monitor a concrete structure for a short interval and, based on signals acquired, estimate Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) progression status in the structure remotely and efficiently without halting any serviceability and operational activities of the structure, knowing the ASR progression status of the structure helps determine rehabilitation and future structural safety and serviceability of the structure.
