Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a new, cutting edge technology employed the study full-field displacement of materials- surface concrete applied to hard concrete specimens. DIC uses the help of digital images that was recorded sequentially during testing period. Principally, DIC tracks down pattern imposed on the surface within the sequence of images. There had never been a research conducted using the method in Indonesia using conventional tools. This research proves that such thing is possible. The component and steps to DIC are extensively discussed in the research; speckle pattern, method of record, images produced, and data computation. Through this research, the behavior of how displacement and strain develops when concrete is subjected to compressive testing can be studied. The results of the research were analyzed quantitatively using the digital images and its computation based on computer software used. Additionally, provided that this was a preliminary research, there are many aspects and suggestions found from this research that will be applicable for future researches.
