Bond mechanism of a new anchorage technique for FRP shear-strengthened T-beams using CFRP rope
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rope was recently developed to anchor fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) shear-strengthened beams that conventionally uses U-wrap scheme. The rope is a bundle of flexible CFRP strands held together by a thin tissue net. In this technique, holes are drilled through the web at the web-flange intersection, and CFRP ropes are inserted through the holes and flared onto the two free ends of the U-wrap scheme. The technique offers substantial improvements in bond strength and ductility because it converts the U-wrap scheme similar to a full-wrap scheme. The objective of this paper was to investigate the bond behavior of CFRP L-strip plates anchored with CFRP ropes. The experimental program consisted of 16 tests on FRP-to-concrete joints, of which six were unanchored (control specimens) and 10 were anchored by CFRP ropes. The influence of concrete strength, rope length, and plate width on bond behavior was examined. Experimental results showed that the bond performance greatly improved with increasing FRP plate width and rope length, but concrete strength had a negligible effect, which is attributed to high thickness and narrow width of CFRP L-strips used. Theoretical formulations provided to account for the ultimate bond load were compared with the experimental results, and a modification factor to estimate the effect of the presence of CFRP rope was suggested.

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.
