Reinforced concrete (RC) has been facing several types of damage mechanism during their lifetime. The types of
common defects in concrete structures are crack formation, corrosion, scalling and etc. Therefore a non destructive
evaluation method such as Acoustic Emission (AE) is required for assessing the condition of the RC structures. AE
testing in RC structures shows great potential in monitoring and assessing the health conditions of structures. AE is
used as a tool to detect, identify, locate and quantify a variety of damage mechanism
