Abstract
Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are rapidly being introduced into a wide variety of civil engineering applications. These materials have been found to be particularly attractive for applications involving the strengthening and rehabilitation of existing structures. In this paper, progress since 1997, with regard to the rehabilitation of civil engineering structures using FRPs, is reviewed. The repair techniques include: column strengthening and seismic applications using FRP wraps, beam strengthening with bonded FRP wraps and laminates, as well as applications to masonry and other types of structures. Durability considerations when using FRPs for rehabilitation are also discussed, and progress regarding field implementations and assessments is reviewed. Finally, initiatives concerning the development of design guidelines and codes of practice are addressed.

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 it
