The objective of the study is to compare theoretical displacement and strain values with those obtained from experiment. The elastic load method was used to obtain the theoretical values. For comparison purpose, H-beams were tested using a three point bending test method. The load-displacement and load-strain curves from the experiment were compared to those from the theory. According to the comparison, displacement was in good agreement with less than 10% difference. Strain values showed difference ranging from approximately 11 to 30%.
