The results of experimental research on a single span reinforced concrete beams are presented in the paper. The study was undertaken to explain some issues, amongst which the most important one was the recognition of strain distribution in the shear zone of RC beams. It was decided to adopt the modified Digital Image Correlation Method (DIC) and the software created by K. Suprynowicz to follow the surface deformations. This was the first application of the software to the concrete structures behaviour analysis. Hence, another aim of the study was to confirm the proper susceptibility and usefulness of this tool for further research on concrete elements. What’s more the scope of the software future development was defined, that would allow for observation of some particular phenomena characteristic for concrete, like cracking. Finally, the conclusion is presented, that application of the proposed variant of DIC method to concrete structures is promising, although for the recognition of shear strain distribution it requires increasing the accuracy by increasing spatial resolution of images and modifications of the software.

Application of the DIC (Digital Image Correlation) method for the analysis of crack initiation and propagation in RC beams reinforced by BFRP bars (Basalt Fibre Reinforced Polymer) is presented in the paper. Two dimensional, single camera DIC system was used to observe strain and crack distribution in such RC beams loaded using four point bending setup. BFRP bars have arose as an alternative to steel bars for RC (Reinforcement Concrete) members in aggressive environments. The low modulus of elasticity of BFRP bars lead on to large crack widths and, as a result, the design of BFRP Reinforced Concrete beams is often governed by SLS (Serviceability Limit State) criterion. Due to this it is necessary to explore specific crack propagation in concrete beams. Process of such beams degradation can be identified by comparison of strains and displacements obtained by DIC method, with the database of experiment results.

<p>This paper studies 2-D high speed photography combined with digital image correlation (DIC) applied to experimental research of reinforced concrete beams at moderate loading rates. The aim of the present research is to understand the influence of 2-D DIC set-up parameters in the results. Drop-weight tests have been completed in 1180 × 100 × 100 mm longitudinally reinforced concrete beams. The study has confirmed results sensitivity to image subdivision and mesh properties. While smaller subdivision sizes allow to obtain results nearby boundaries, being more suitable to study local effects, larger sizes enhance computational cost, increase mesh stability and accuracy. A discussion of key aspects of 2-D DIC for measuring different parameters (such as acceleration, displacements, strains and strain-rate) is presented along this paper.</p>
