Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a modern optical measurement system that allows for virtually continuous measurements of the displacement field of the entire surfaces of tested elements.

DIC has the disadvantage that the accuracy of its results is highly dependent on several aspects of the testing and the post processing phases.

This research project aims at developing a systematic procedure for defining the sensitivity and accuracy of DIC measurements on structural concrete experiments.
