摘要: A total of 6 full-scale glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite bridge deck specimens were tested to study the significance of using acoustic emission (AE) for monitoring and analysis of the structural integrity of the specimens during a predetermined loading profile. The first two specimens varied in width and were loaded to failure and last four specimens were the original specimens that were repaired after failure occurred using an FRP wrap. The objective, through the use of AE monitoring and analysis, is to identify failure prediction criteria and/or a methodology that would provide a determination of the structural integrity of the in-service FRP bridge deck during field inspection. While no codes and standards exist for these types of specimens, current standards developed for FRP tanks and vessels were used as a base reference to determine if current standards could be adopted or if new or additional criteria needed to be established. Real-time monitoring was conducted for each specimen during a standard 3-point bending test. Monitoring typically covered loading up to 80% of the calculated ultimate strength. During monitoring, a selected set of features associated with each AE hit and the associated waveform were recorded in a database for post analysis. The collected data was later analyzed using comparison and intensity analysis, linear location and waveform analysis, accompanied with pattern recognition, to identify series of hits with a particular event. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Kansas Dept. of Transportation, Topeka. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
