Abstract

Measured values of attenuation with distance, amplitude distribution, and propagation velocity of acoustic emissions associated with embedded metcil corrosion induced cracking in a concrete slab are presented. An extensive review of acoustic emission signal processing techniques and theoretical background material is also included. The study points out how attenuation and propagation velocity of the acoustic emission signal affects various signal processing techniques and verifies an amplitude distribution spreading rrodel. The need for further defirlition of attentuation values caused by fluid loading of the concrete surface is also discussed.
