Abstract

Variations in the acoustic emission parameters of normal concrete (NC), steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), and nano SiO₂ fiber concrete (NSFC) with the increase in loads under four-point bending load were studied. Distribution law of acoustic emission signals and its correlations with flexural strength and breaking energy of the concrete were discussed. The energy jump of acoustic emission (AE) signals reflects abrupt changes in the load and displacement of specimens. The first change point on the time of arrival (TOA)-energy curve corresponds to the load and displacement of the initial cracking point of the load-displacement curve. Nano SiO₂ significantly enhances the strength of AE signals, thereby prolonging the duration of an AE event. An extended AE event is conducive to accurately determining the initial cracking point. Compared with steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), nano SiO₂ steel fiber-reinforced concrete (NSFC) exhibits greater toughness and bending strength. The addition of nano SiO₂ leads to a more stable AE test result, which is beneficial for identifying the initial cracking point and critical failure point of a concrete beam, determining the initial load and ultimate bearing capacity of the beam, and providing an early warning against possible structural failures.
