BS ISO 16837:2019 PDF Download

BS ISO 16837:2019 is a standard that focuses on the non-destructive testing technique of acoustic emission testing. The standard specifically outlines a test method for the damage qualification of reinforced concrete beams. It is applicable to a wide range of structural elements such as bridges, docks, and buildings, highlighting its relevance and importance in the construction industry.

The standard provides guidelines and procedures for conducting the acoustic emission testing for reinforced concrete beams. Acoustic emission testing is a non-destructive testing technique that involves monitoring the release of transient stress waves or acoustic emissions from a material under stress. By analyzing and interpreting these emissions, it is possible to identify and evaluate any potential damage or deterioration in the reinforced concrete beams.
