Structural behavior Analysis of Ferrocement beam thorough the Digital Image Correlation: numerical and experimental study

This study investigates the mechanical properties of concrete specimens enhanced by a novel marking technique designed to improve measurement accuracy. Conventional marking methods often limit precision, impacting the reliability of test data and subsequent structural assessments. By refining the marking procedure with advanced technology, the experiment aims to reduce variability in results, enabling more confident conclusions regarding material strength and behavior. This boosted accuracy is critical for optimizing concrete formulations and structural design methodologies in engineering practice.Studying how reinforced and prestressed concrete structures behave under different types of loads (static, dynamic, cyclic). Testing joints and other parts of structures reinforced with new and advanced materials. Developing models that explain how construction materials behave. Using non-destructive methods like ultrasonic testing and core sampling to check materials without damaging them. Evaluating the safety of buildings and large structures like bridges, especially against earthquakes. Designing new systems to monitor structures and developing new testing methods. Building computer models to simulate how structures behave. The lab is equipped with modern machines and tools, allowing precise and reliable testing. The team is made up of skilled engineers and researchers who ensure high-quality work.
