ISO 16837:2019 PDF Download

ISO 16837:2019 is a standard that focuses on non-destructive testing through acoustic emission testing for the purpose of damage qualification of reinforced concrete beams. The standard is applicable to various structures such as bridges, docks, and buildings.

The main objective of the standard is to provide guidelines for conducting the testing and assessment of the condition of reinforced concrete beams. It outlines the test method that utilizes acoustic emission techniques to detect and evaluate structural damage.

By employing this standard, engineers and technicians are able to assess the quality and integrity of the reinforced concrete beams without causing any physical damage.

ISO 16837:2019 plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of reinforced concrete structures by providing a standardized approach to evaluating their condition and identifying any potential damage that may affect their performance.
