Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

• Inherent variability affects capsule failure and effective properties of matrix. • Failure probability changes greatly with evolving early age concrete properties. • Reliability index for optimization of capsule design. • Neglecting drying creep effect overestimates probability of capsule rupture. Capsules for healing early-age concrete cracks should possess multi-functional properties to ensure shell rupture and release of healing agents rather than debonding from the cementitious matrix when intercepting a crack. A deterministic-probabilistic multi-scale model is developed to determine the probability of capsule rupture versus interfacial debonding induced by early age volume change. A micromechanical model along with a probabilistic model are employed for determining the maximum tensile stresses in capsule shell, radial tensile stresses on the capsule-matrix interface, and the corresponding probability index of capsule rupture and debonding. The matrix is modeled as an equivalent homogeneous medium with effective properties determined from a homogenization scheme. The influence of crack is accounted for implicitly. The model results are qualitatively in agreement with results reported in the literature.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
