Abstract
Evaluation methods such as acoustic emission (AE) are required for assessing the deterioration on concrete structures. This paper gives a brief on the evaluations of the acoustic emission to the health monitoring of reinforced concrete structure beam. Small scale size beam have been used for this investigation and the AE signal processing are the main principal data in this work for assessing by using the statistical technique, which is known as intensity analysis method (IA). This technique is capable to quantify and evaluate the damage severity on concrete structures. Eventually, by using the AE signal strength data, the results indicates are greater instruments in determining th e damage mechanism level on concretes structure.
