A stiff testing machine is generally used to measure load-displacement curves having falling branch of concrete specimens. However, when the failure of specimens is unstable (uncontrollable), the stiff testing machine is insufficient to measure the loaddisplacement curves having falling branch. In this paper, the unstable failure of specimens was discussed from viewpoint of catastrophic theory, and a new system to measure automatically the load-displacement curves having falling branch was
