Evaluation of the Non-destructive Character of the Stiffness Damage Test for Damage Assessment of Concrete Structures Affected by Alkali-Silica Reaction Using Acoustic Emission

The Stiffness Damage Test (SDT), a cyclic test in compression, is considered as a reliable tool for assessing concrete structures affected by ASR. Depending on the extent of ASR damage in concrete, loading levels up to 40% of the compressive strength may contribute to increasing internal damage during testing. Nevertheless, previous research...
