Topic: Why is the longitudinal reinforcement strain of the test beam signific

Hello, under the condition that the load deflection curve of the finite element is similar to that of the test, why does the longitudinal reinforcement strain of the test increase at the crack, indicating that the two sides increase and the middle is small, while the finite element shows that the middle is large and the two sides are small, and the longitudinal reinforcement strain of the finite element is obviously smaller than that of the test

Hi, I am not sure I understand the question. Of course at the location of cracks you should see an increase in the reinforcement strain. If you need more clarification, please send your data files and some figures of the problem to our hotline cervenka@cervenka.cz. Regards Jan
