Modeling piezocone cone penetration (CPTU) parameters of clays as a multivariate normal distribution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study examines the possibility of modeling piezocone cone penetration (CPTU) cone tip resistance, excessive pore pressure behind the cone, undrained shear strength, and overconsolidation ratio of lightly overconsolidated clays as a multivariate normal distribution. This is part of a continuing study to develop a multivariate distribution that could be used to simulate common soil parameters at a clay site. This study compiles a large database consisting of 535 data points in which the CPTU parameters, undrained shear strength, and overconsolidation ratio are simultaneously measured in close proximity. A multivariate normal distribution is then used to capture the correlations between soil parameters of interest and to derive useful equations for Bayesian inference. This constructed multivariate normal distribution and equations are further validated by another independent database consisting of 594 data points as well as by empirical equations proposed in literature. The most useful outcome of this study is to provide a systematic and analytical method for updating the distributions of the normalized undrained shear strength and the overconsolidation ratio in the presence of CPTU parameters.

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.
