A novel strong and durable near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP method with cost-effective fillers [PDF]
Composite Structures, 2021 Conventional near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP methods rely on expensive and less durable epoxy-filler bond to transfer tensile force from FRP reinforcements into concrete elements, generally failing to fully develop the tensile strength of FRP reinforcements. In this paper, cost-effective and potentially more durable fillers (e.g.

Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Near-Surface Mounted (NSM) Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Strips with Additional Anchorage. [PDF]
Materials (Basel)The work presents and examines a fiber anchoring system of NSM CFRP strips proposed for strengthening RC beams. The study included 11 beams: 3 unstrengthened beams, 3 beams strengthened with NSM CFRP strip without anchorage, and 5 beams strengthened with NSM CFRP strips with additional anchorage in two variants (the fiber anchor wrapped around the CFRP

How good are large language models at product risk assessment? [PDF]
Risk AnalAbstract Product safety professionals must assess the risks to consumers associated with the foreseeable uses and misuses of products. In this study, we investigate the utility of generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, across a number of tasks involved in the product risk assessment process ...
