A UHPC beam test and its inverse analysis
A 101.6 mm UHPC beam in four-point bending, from first crack to failure. Strain, stress and curvature come from the HRC Designer inverse analysis of this beam. The cracks are measured by digital image correlation on the same beam.

Strain, stress and curvature: HRC Designer, using the tension law from the inverse analysis of this beam. Cracks and crack widths: digital image correlation of the same beam, matched at equal load. Fibres are illustrative.
