Abstract

In a building cracks are of common occurrence. Usually cracks are develops in a building components whenever stress in the components exceeds its strength; internally induced stresses in a building components initially lead to dimensional displacement and finally cracking occurs. In the present paper MATLAB – DIC (Digital image correlation) technique is used to the RCC beam member to measure surface displacements and strain. Comparatively with traditional extensometer technique this MATLAB – DIC technique is easy and effective to define the zone where maximum displacement and maximum strains are localized. The study of strain and displacement in localized zone on the surface of RCC member under three point bending helps in designing structures which satisfies serviceability, sustainability and durability conditions.
