Abstract
Based on the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) criteria, 105 pullout specimens were tested to investigate the effect of different rib geometries on bond strength of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars embedded in concrete. Two kinds of conventional reinforcing rebars were also studied for comparison. Each rebar was embedded in a 150 mm concrete cube, with the embedded length being four times the rebar diameter. The experimental parameters were the rebar type, rebar component, rebar diameter, rebar surface texture, rib height, rib spacing and rib width. Theoretical analysis was also carried out to explain the experimental phenomena and results. The experimental and theoretical results indicated that the bond strength of GFRP rebars was about 13%∼35% lower than that of steel rebars. The bond strength and bond-slip behavior of the specially machined rebars varied with the rebar type, rebar diameter, rebar surface texture, rib height, rib spacing and rib width. Using the results, design recommendations were made concerning optimum rib geometries of GFRP ribbed rebars with superior bond-slip characteristics, which concluded that the optimal rib spacing of ribbed rebars is the same as the rebar diameter, and that the optimal rib height is 6% of the rebar diameter.

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 it
