5ε
That's about the same as a stretched rubber band. A 10 m bar would stretch by 50,000 mm.
What it means
How much stretch is that?
Material figures are typical. Steel yield depends on the grade; concrete cracking on the mix and age.
The math
How to convert % to ε
To convert percent to strain (plain ratio), multiply by 0.01.
Example: 500 % × 0.01 = 5 ε.
In the other direction, 1 ε = 100 %.
