The selection of reliable technique for damage assessment is important in civil engineering structure. The present study proposed Acoustic emission (AE) technique by using the fundamental AE parameter to evaluate damage accumulated on Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) specimens. The UHPC beam with dimension of 515 mm x 98 mm x 98 mm was tested under three-point bending test with stepwise flexural load. In order to detect and to collect the AE data, Micro-SAMOS (μ-SAMOS) digital AE system and R6I sensors type were used while data analyses were carried out using AEwin software. The damage level that take place during increasing static loading on tested concrete beams and the mechanism was successfully evaluated using the AE technique.

Acoustic emission (AE) technology is widely used in structural health monitoring. Glass sand (GS) made from waste glass is a promising replacement aggregate for quartz sand (QS) in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). This paper addresses the effects of different factors including water-binder ratio, length of basalt fiber (BF) and ratio of GS replacing QS on the fluidity and flexural strength of UHPC notched beam under four-point flexural loads. Meanwhile, the fracture characteristics of UHPC notched beam were characterized through acoustic emission (AE) technique. The results show that water-binder ratio and replacement ratio of GS present a positive correlation with work performance of UHPC, while length of BF exhibits a negative one. The flexural strength of UHPC notched beams can be improved by the decrease of the water-binder ratio and fiber length. The effect of water-binder ratio on flexural strength is the most significant, while the addition of GS presents the minimum one. The fracture characteristics of UHPC notched beams could be favorably characterized by AE parameters. Through the analysis and comparison of the evolution of AE parameters, the differences in fracture properties of UHPC notched beams with different flexural strengths can be realized. Through this study, the fluidity and flexural performance of UHPC produced by replacing QS with GS were demonstrated, which is beneficial to the cleaner production of UHPC. Meanwhile, the AE technique presented great potential for fracture characterization of UHPC notched beam, which also provided a promising method for real-time monitoring of cracking in the diagnosis of UHPC structures.
