Abstract
Asphalt concrete is a typical road building material of advanced asphalt pavements. Under the reciprocating vehicle loading, fatigue cracks are reduced inevitably, which seriously affect road performance. Therefore, effective detection and diagnosis of fatigue crack propagation has become a hot research issue. Acoustic emission detection test is a new dynamic nondestructive testing technology which has some features of real-time, online and overall detection. The main purpose of this paper systematically analyses the development process of acoustic emission technology applied in health monitoring field of asphalt concrete pavement structure, and to state the acoustic emission source localization principle, the parameters of acoustic emission signal analysis method, the acoustic emission signal waveform analysis method, etc. Furthermore, from the aspects of the asphalt concrete fatigue performance, crack evolution process and positioning technology, this paper fundamentally discuss the future technological development prospect of acoustic emission technology which is applied in the field of monitoring and diagnosis of asphalt concrete pavement structure, and provide a new perspective for the whole dynamic maintenance of road , and the information implementation of pavement maintenance strategies at later stage.
