Notes:
Corrosion is the major cause of structural degradation in industrial plant and structures;the consequences of not identifying its presence and status can be severe, leading to a myriad ofmethods for its evaluation and monitoring. Amongst these there are a large number based onacoustic methods, and this paper concentrates on three variations involving passive monitoring withthe aim of summarizing their usual area of applications and limitations. Passive monitoring involveslistening to the process of corrosion itself, which usually causes acoustic emission as a result of thefracture and de-bonding of expansive corrosion products, localised yielding, or micro-crackformation. This method is applied to reinforced concrete structures, storage tank floors, and processplant whilst in service
