Non-Destructive Testing: Acoustic Emission Testing - Test Method for Classification of Active Cracks in Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The BS ISO 16838:2019 standard outlines a test method for the classification of active cracks in concrete structures. Active cracks refer to cracks that are continuing to grow or propagate.
The standard provides guidelines for conducting acoustic emission testing, a non-destructive testing technique that detects and analyzes the acoustic signals generated by crack growth and structural changes within the concrete. The test method described in the standard allows for the identification and classification of active cracks based on their characteristics and behavior.
By classifying active cracks, this standard enables engineers and professionals to assess the severity and potential risks associated with cracked concrete structures. The information gathered through acoustic emission testing can aid in making informed decisions regarding maintenance, repair, or replacement of the affected structures, ensuring their long-term integrity and safety.
