Use cyclic load protocol o Study linearity and repeatability of results
Flexure: Stop criteria exceeded long before failure o Suitable stop criteria
Crack width criterion from DAfStB + add lower bound Residual deflection DAfStB / ACI 437.2M-13 + minimum load level Deviation from Linearity ACI 437.2M-13: consistent performance except for
retested beam BUT: Deviation from Linearity and Permanency Ratio depend on applied loading
