Abstract
Provided is a method of predicting failure in geotechnical structures using an AE method instead of a conventional displacement or stress measuring method, which belongs to a field of rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering. The method is a measurement technology for identifying signs of failure in geotechnical structures using Acoustic Emission (AE) signals generated by damage in the geotechnical structure and also providing management standard for failure prediction.
