This Part of BS 1881 gives recommendations on methods and devices which can be used to determine strain in concrete. Some devices measure a property directly related to strain in the gauge (e.g. electrical resistance gauges) whereas others actually measure displacement, which can be used to determine strain using a known base length (e.g. displacement transducers). References to strain gauges in this Part include both types of device. The use of the following devices is described: mechanical (including mechanical/optical); electrical resistance (metal and alloy elements); vibrating wire (acoustic); electrical displacement transducers. NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
