Abstract

In reality, damage in the reinforced concrete structure under fatigue causes poor performance under service loading. Hence, this study aims to investigate the acoustic emission characteristics of the reinforced concrete beam subjected to fatigue loading at different sensors. Laboratory experiments were performed on the 150 mm × 150 mm × 750 mm reinforced concrete beam under fatigue loading in conjunction with acoustic emission monitoring. Then, the acoustic emission parameters on four sensors such as absolute energy, amplitude and average frequency were analysed. It is found that a good correlation between acoustic emission characteristics and the normalised cycles for all sensors. Hence, the response on the acoustic emission characteristic can be used to predict fatigue damage prognosis of the reinforced concrete beam.
