Kaiser Effect- Concrete<br />

For concrete This<br />

was true, however,<br />

only for stress<br />

levels below about<br />

75 to 85% of the<br />

ultimate strength<br />

of the material<br />

that this effect did not<br />

occur beyond the<br />

peak of the stressstrain<br />

curve (i.e., in<br />

the descending<br />

portion of the stressstrain<br />

curve), where<br />

acoustic emissions<br />

occurred again<br />

before the previous<br />

maximum strain was<br />

reached.<br />
