Abstract

Recently some applications of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) in actual structures have been reported. However progresses of failures in FRP are still not well known. Additionally the evaluation/inspection methods against defects of FRP in actual structures are of high demand. In this study failure progresses in a FRP sampled from an actual bridge were evaluated using Acoustic Emission Tomography (AET) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) during a tensile test considering the applicability of these methods as future inspection methods in actual structures.
