Bond Performance of Near-Surface Mounted BFRP Bars to Concrete
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents the test results of a study on the bond performance of near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to concrete. Twelve C-shape concrete specimens were tested under direct pull-out loading configuration. Test parameters included the bar surface configuration (deformed and sand coated), the types of epoxy adhesive (NSM Gel and Sikadur-30), and the bonded length (6, 12, and 24 times its diameter). The influence of various parameters on the overall bond performance of NSM-BFRP bars is analyzed and discussed. The obtained results confirmed the impact of the investigated parameters on the bond behavior of the tested specimens. It was found that the bond strength and failure mode varied considerably with the bar surface configuration and bonded length. Higher bond strength was obtained when the NSM Gel epoxy with high strength properties. The results also revealed that both the deformed and sand coated bars showed almost similar bond strengths. Moreover, the pull-out loads increased with the increase of the bonded length of the NSM bars.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
