✦ Synopsis


The application of acoustic emission in the testing of masonry arch bridges is studied. The behaviour of both full and model scale bridges under static loading is described. "1~ general instrmnentation and loading arrangements are given along with an outline of the procedure adopted for the various tests. The pattern of acoustic activity in relation to loaddeformation response is investigated. Some general characteristics of behaviour are identified. The implication for the use of an acoustic signature in the integrity assessment of masonry arch bridges are considered.
