Stress-dependent behavior of saturated clay
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A program of K0-consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests has been performed to investigate the effects of consolidation stress level on the compression and shear behavior of resedimented Boston blue clay (RBBC). Specimens were consolidated to maximum vertical effective stresses in the range 0.15–10 MPa and tested at three overconsolidation ratios (OCR): 1, 2, and 4. The results show that the virgin compression curves are essentially linear in e–log[Formula: see text] space over the consolidation stress range. However, the normally consolidated K0stress ratio increases with the level of consolidation stress. The stress–strain–strength properties measured in undrained shear are significantly affected by the consolidation stress level at each OCR and show indications of non-normalizable behavior. At high pressures, the undrained shear stress–strain behavior becomes more ductile, requiring larger strains to mobilize peak resistance and exhibiting less post-peak strain-softening. The undrained strength ratio (su/[Formula: see text]) is not uniquely controlled by OCR as suggested by the SHANSEP equation, but consistently decreases with increasing consolidation effective stress. There is notable reduction in the stiffness ratio (Eu/[Formula: see text]) with stress level, and significant decrease in the large-strain friction angle.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
