Abstract:In order to make full use of the bearing capacity of concrete structure and ensure its operation safety, it is necessary to detect the crack in time and grasp its expansion. Aiming at the experimental measurement of crack growth process of concrete, this paper mainly introduces four methods of measuring crack growth process of concrete, namely photoelastic patch method, moire interferometry method, electronic speckle interferometry method and digital image correlation method, and analyses their advantages and disadvantages from the aspects of principle, characteristics and application in the measurement of crack growth process of concrete. The results show that the electronic speckle interferometry and digital image correlation method can be better applied to concrete crack measurement, and the research results in this paper provide some theoretical support for the selection of concrete crack propagation measurement methods.
