11 AE test results Damaged arches

12 Abs. Energy / Cycle Loading history Hit Rate / Cycle 36kN 32kN 34kN Damaged arches

13 AE test results Arches with soil

14 Arches with soil Absolute energy (aJ) Time (sec) Crack development Movement Crack development Movement 1 st crack observed at ¼ span

15 AE technique summary 1.AE gives real-time indication of crack opening inside the structure, before their effect is measurable on the surface 2.Can clearly locate damaged regions and potential areas of failure 3.Indicates crack development and residual damages before failure 4.Shows potentials for damaged arches as well as for arches with soil. 5.Periods of ‘crack development’, ‘crack opening’ and ‘movement’ can be clearly distinguished
