The article discusses the improvement of the digital image correlation (DIC) method for analyzing deformations in RC beams, specifically focusing on the importance of zero-strain verification. This step is critical for ensuring high measurement accuracy, as it helps identify and minimize systematic and random errors. Before starting the research, system calibration is conducted, which includes the assessment of background noise and stability that influence the results. The study shows that proper sample preparation, pattern creation, and control of external factors allow for obtaining reliable data. The application of DIC enables remote monitoring of cracks and evaluation of the stress-strain state of structures. It has been established that this method is useful not only for scientific experiments but also in practical engineering, contributing to the increased reliability of structures
