Abstract
Corrosion is a major concern for structures under the harsh environment. In this paper, ECC was applied as an alternative to concrete in tension zones, which was combine with FRP bars to develop a new type of composite beam with excellent durability. The flexural performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced concrete beams with U-shaped CFRP grid-reinforced ECC formwork was investigated. Five beams were designed, including one reference beam with full concrete, one composite beam with a coupon-shaped ECC permanent formwork at the bottom, and three composite beams with the proposed formwork. The effects of the application of the U-shaped ECC formwork, the formwork types, the application of CFRP grids, and the strength of the ECC were investigated. The test results showed that ECCs were an ideal material to improve the flexural behavior of FRP-reinforced concrete beams. The proposed formwork had a positive effect on crack resistance at the serviceability limit and substantially improved the cracking load by 78.57–85.71% and the ultimate load by 5.29–15.71% compared with those of the reference beam. Moreover, the proposed formwork improved the shear stiffness of the composite beam. The addition of CFRP grids improved the tensile strength of the ECC formwork and consequently contributed to the improvement in the load capacity of the composite beams.

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
