First, we introduce the pseudo-labelling method using a closed-source LLM to generate high-quality data. Then we propose the hybrid extraction pipeline to extract relevant information segments and process them by a generation-based IE model, fine-tuned on pseudo-labeled data. Finally, the extracted data is used to construct the bridge inspection database. The proposed method, validated with real-world data, not only demonstrates higher extraction precision than the closed-source LLM used for pseudo-labeling but also outperforms traditional methods in both data preparation time and extraction accuracy.

Traditional inspections often focus on damage, overlooking the functional condition of construction elements. This research addresses these limitations with a comprehensive methodological approach tailored to assess functional condition. It employs a multiple-choice questionnaire adapted from international rating scales to ensure consistency and minimize subjectivity among inspectors. A case study validates the effectiveness of this strategic framework, demonstrating high consistency and accuracy in evaluating functional conditions.

Coefficient of determination of 0.91 was achieved by XGBoost in predicting bond strength, outperforming other nine analytical models in literature. Failure mode was predicted with accuracy of 94% by CatBoost, XGBoost, and LightGBM. Embedment length and compressive strength features had greatest influence on bond strength and failure mode, respectively.

In this study, the carbonation parameters of model aggregates derived from cement pastes with two different water/cement ratios (i.e., 0.5 and 0.7) were evaluated in order to maximize the benefits of the carbonation process on their density and absorption. For this purpose, in a first phase, the initial moisture content of the model aggregates and the reaction time were evaluated. Furthermore, in a second phase of mortar production, the fraction of fine natural aggregates was replaced, considering each type of unprocessed and carbonated model aggregate at volumetric replacement percentages of 50% and 100%, varying the amount of water in the mortar mix to maintain a similar workability in all the series. In this way, the properties of the eight series of mortars are evaluated in comparison with the control series made only with natural aggregates. The results indicate that the accelerated carbonation process positively influences density and absorption in the model aggregate. Regarding the parameters of the accelerated carbonation environment analyzed, for a higher w/c ratio in the original model aggregate, higher initial water content was necessary for the carbonation process to be efficient. As for the mechanical performance of the mortars with model aggregate, the series that incorporated model aggregate aggregates with a w/c ratio of 0.5 achieved better mechanical behavior compared to the series replacing model aggregate with a w/c ratio of 0.7; this was related to the formation of a more compact matrix in the mortar with model aggregate of cementitious pastes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34137,"journal":{"name":"Developments in the Built Environment","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100545"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666165924002266/pdfft?md5=5d4dcc19089573e989774c1e4de9c9fb&pid=1-s2.0-S2666165924002266-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142311592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
