... ) lattices and two equal-mass variants (rod thickening (BCC-T) and rib addition (BCC-R)) were investigated under three-point bending using multi-modal non-destructive testing methods: acoustic emission ( AE ), digital image correlation and X-ray computed tomography ( XCT ). Compared with plain cement...

... with initial defects and the internal damage of the concrete was monitored by acoustic emission (AE) technology in real time to study the damage process and mechanism. The mechanical properties of concrete specimens with different initial defects were determined and the cumulative impact count of AE...
