(1) The three biopolymers—xanthan gum, guar gum, and carrageenan—can all effectively improve the shear strength characteristics of Guilin red clay. The core mechanism is to form a cementation network ...

The study investigates the cyclic bond behavior of FRP bars from four key parameters—bar diameter, embedment length, concrete strength, and rib geometry—leading to the development of a unified bond ...
