Acoustic emission and related non-destructive evaluation techniques in the fracture mechanics of concrete : fundamentals and applications

Acoustic Emission and Related Non-destructive Evaluation Techniques in the Fracture Mechanics of Concrete: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition presents innovative Acoustic Emission (AE) and related non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques that are used for damage detection and inspection of aged and deteriorated concrete structures. This new edition includes multi-modal applications such as DIC, thermography, X-ray and in-situ implementations, all of which are helpful in better understanding feasibility and underlying challenges.

This new edition is an essential resource for civil engineers, contractors working in construction, and materials scientists working both in industry and academia.
