Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As part of the St. Lawrence Seaway lock maintenance, the current practice is to perform concrete repairs entirely with reinforced concrete, using either ordinary concrete or high performance concrete (HPC) mixtures. However, with the recent advances in the field of ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), the use of this new material is considered in view of improving the overall performance of repairs. The goal is to implement repairs capable of dissipating a lot of energy before breaking when a ship hits a concrete lock wall. Numerous rehabilitation materials and methods have been experimented in the past. They all were unsuccessful due to inadequate shear and impact strength characteristics of the repair materials used. These needs can be efficiently fulfilled with UHPFRC, with their superior mechanical properties and very high energy-dissipation ability. To analyze the in-situ behavior of UHPFRC, two main mixture designs were investigated: a 160-MPa mixture containing 3% of steel fibers and a 120-MPa mixture containing 3.5% of a steel fiber blend. Thick repairs with average depths of 700 mm were carried out during the winter shut down period, in very harsh climatic conditions (-12 °C, gusty wind). The performance exhibited by the repairs after a full year shows that UHPFRCs can withstand very effectively the impacts from the transiting vessels

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
