Abstract: Conventionally, transfer‐length strain measurements are performed using mechanical gauges such as the Whittemore gauge, or demountable (DEMEC) gauges, and others devices ‘contact’ measuring principles. These methods involve tedious surface preparation, also prone to significant human errors inaccuracies. Furthermore, these sensors can only detect lateral displacements. This paper presents a new optical sensor of prestress concrete strains. It makes use laser‐speckle displacement...
