Effect of adhesive on the anchorage performance of variable curvature waveform clamping anchor for CFRP plate: Experimental investigation and carrying capacity calculation by Yongyu Duo, Minglei Ma, Guowen Xu, Xiaogang Liu

“…For specimens subjected to friction-bending-adhesion coupling anchoring, the theoretical carrying capacity values were in good agreement with the experimental results, yielding a mean deviation of 3.67 %. The high-efficiency anchorage and the carrying capacity calculating method proposed in this study are expected to provide a solid foundation for the large-scale application of CFRP plates in prestressed reinforcement and cable structures, while also offering a reliable basis for structural design.…”

Dam Deformation Prediction Model Based on Artificial Electric Field Algorithm-Extreme Learning Machine Model by LI Xinhua, CUI Dongwen

“…This paper studies a prediction method combining the artificial electric field algorithm (AEFA) and extreme learning machine (ELM) to improve the accuracy of dam deformation prediction.With the 72nd dam settlement data of Guandi Hydropower Station as an example,three ELM prediction models with a delay time of 1,and embedding dimensions of 2D,3D,and 5D are constructed.AEFA is applied to optimize the ELM input layer weights and hidden layer bias to construct three different AEFA-ELM dam deformation prediction models with different embedded dimensions and build the corresponding AEFA-support vector machine (SVM) and AEFA-BP as prediction comparison models.AEFA-ELM,AEFA-SVM,and AEFA-BP models with nine embedding dimensions are used for the training and prediction of the deformation data of the example dam.The results show that the AEFA-ELM model with embedded dimensions of 2D,3D,and 5D has an average relative error of 3.94%,4.08%,and 3.67% of the dam deformation prediction for the next 10 periods of the example,respectively.The prediction errors are all smaller than those of AEFA-SVM and AEFA-BP models.The proposed model possesses high prediction accuracy and has a certain reference value for dam deformation prediction research.…”
