This paper aims to develop the AE non-destructive testing equipment and signal analysis method for external tendon of PSC (Pre-Stressed Concrete) bridge. The AE NDT equipment, which has developed in this research, is composed of AE sensor, signal receiver, hitting device, driving part and main frame. Defective and non-defective specimens, designed to emulate signal characteristics for external duct with void(25%, 50% and 100%) or not, were constructed and tested to verify the effectiveness of AE NDT equipment. Test results and AE parameters comparisons between defective and non-defective specimens are presented.
