“…Kinda et al (2023) investigated the drying creep and shrinkage of cement paste from a microscopic point of view using the DIC technique under SEM and established a model between creep modulus, drying rate and relative humidity. Wang et al (2023aWang et al ( , 2023bWang et al ( , 2023cWang et al ( , 2023d added corn straw fibers to gangue powder concrete and monitored the surface of the specimens using the DIC technique, and the results of the tests showed that the addition of corn straw fibers improved the stability of the cement soil. Guo et al (2023) monitored the horizontal strain field and vertical displacement field of concrete during uniaxial compression and obtained the law of crack development with the failure mechanism of concrete, in addition, DIC technique has important applications in the analysis of strain fields in material fields such as asphalt (Klimczak et al 2023, Ren et al 2023, 2023c, 2023d, metals (Gao et al 2022, He and Feng, 2023, Kannan et al 2023 and rocks (Liu et al 2023, 2023c, 2023d, 2023e, Zhong et al 2023.…”
