Abstract: |
This paper presents field tests performed on a slab-on-girder pre-stressed concrete bridge. The bridge was tested under static loading, crawling loading, and dynamic loading. A full three-dimensional finite element prediction under both static and dynamic loadings was carried out and the results were compared with the field measurements. While acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of bridge structures is not a new vista, the method has not been fully exploited in bridge monitoring. Though numerous quantitative methods have been proposed, they have not yet developed to be useful for actual field tests of bridges. Therefore, in this study, an attempt was made to use the intensity analysis technique for damage quantification using the AE method. |
