EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CORROSION MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES USING ACOUSTIC EMISSION by Ahmed Abouhussien, Assem Hassan

“…In addition, other AE signal parameters including number of hits, counts, and energy showed a significant increase in their cumulative values as the level of the theoretical mass loss, actual mass loss, and crack widths were increased. The results of this investigation confirmed that AE parameters (especially CSS) can be evaluated to detect corrosion earlier than other available nondestructive testing and evaluation techniques. …”
