Advice on the use of mechanical, electrical resistance and vibrating wire gauges and electrical displacement transducers.

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.
