Large model test of prestressed carbon fibre reinforced polymer ground anchors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents a full-scale prestressed ground anchor model test with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) 9-bar tendons. The main objectives of this laboratory study were to evaluate the serviceability of the developed bond-type anchorage for post-tensioning applications with CFRP multibar tendons and to study load transfer mechanism of CFRP multibar tendons to surrounding rock mass. A cement-based mortar-filled steel tube was used to simulate a rock mass environment. Extensive instrumentation including resistance strain gauges, fibre optic sensors, embedded strain gauges, and linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs) were used to monitor the behaviour of the anchor. The test results show that the tested CFRP 9-bar anchor presents an acceptable tensile behaviour under a load of 0.6f pu in accordance with existing codes. The CFRP multibar anchor presents a similar strain distribution profile as that for conventional steel anchors, except giving a shorter load transfer length. It is expected that CFRP 9-bar anchors require a minimum anchor bonded length of 2000 mm with plain cement grouts.Key words: anchor, anchorage, FRP, tendon, slip.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
