Abstract:Fresh concrete is characterized by numerous processes taking place simultaneously such as settlement, hydration, early-age cracking and shrinkage. Those processes have a strong impact on the strength and durability, hence monitoring the material at an early stage is essential to ensure the required performance. Acoustic Emission (AE) is a non-destructive, highly sensitive technique that records elastic waves propagating through the medium and has proven to be adequate to monitor the complex processes taking pl… Show more
