    This lab report summarizes strain measurements taken at various loads on a structure. The measurements from strain gages were compared to calculated theoretical strain values. The experimental strain values were fairly close to the theoretical values, with a maximum percent error of 8.57% and most values within 1-8% error. Based on these results, the report concludes that the strain gages provide accurate measurements of strain that can be useful for determining stress and predicting when a structure will yield under load.

    Overall, we are satisfied with the results and say that these strain gages yield accurate
    measurements that are fairly close to the theoretical strain values. The maximum percent error
    between the experimental strain measurements and the theoretical strain measurements was
    8.57%, with a range of approximately 1% - 8%. Depending on the application, these strain gages
    can be very valuable in obtaining strain measurements, thus being able to determine stress and
    estimating at which point the structure will experience permanent yielding.
