stresses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> specimens. By means <strong>of</strong> LVDT transducers <strong>and</strong> inclinometers,<br />

positioned as illustrated in Figure 4.19, was possible to determine <strong>the</strong> global<br />

deformed configuration. Moreover, in <strong>the</strong> zone <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> joint, LVDT transducers (see<br />
