Evaluation of the effectiveness of a cover with capillary barrier effect to control percolation into a waste disposal facility
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The goal of an instrumented experimental plot constructed on the Saint-Tite-des-Caps landfill site was to evaluate the field behaviour and performance of a cover with capillary barrier effect (CCBE) to control water percolation. The CCBE consists of a layer of deinking by-products (DBP) on top of a layer of sand overlying a gravel layer. The DBP layer acts as a seepage control layer to control the rate of seepage that can reach the top of the capillary barrier. Analysis of the field data shows that the seepage control layer consisting of DBP remained nearly saturated and controlled percolation to the desired level. In addition, for the first year of monitoring, the diversion length determined from field data was very similar to that estimated by the analytical solution that was used for the design of the experimental plot. Afterwards, the diversion length increased due to a decrease in the rate of seepage caused by settlement of the seepage control layer, which caused a decrease in its saturated hydraulic conductivity. At all times, the flows that reached the gravel layer at the toe of the experimental CCBE were, for all practical purposes, lower than the maximum seepage rates required by the most restrictive landfill regulations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
