Calibration of constitutive parameters by inverse analysis for a geotechnical boundary problem
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The finite element method (FEM) has become a standard tool for solving complex problems in geotechnical engineering. Many different advanced constitutive models for fine-grained soils have been developed in recent years, which can consider various phenomena of soil. Generally, the number of constitutive parameters increases with phenomena incorporated in the model, and their determination is one of the key issues in numerical modeling in geotechnics. Normally, experimental data, experience, and back analyses based on engineering judgment are used to arrive at appropriate input parameters for a particular model. However, this procedure is not always satisfactory, especially when the number of required input parameters is large. In this paper, a population-based algorithm has been used to determine the constitutive parameters for a geotechnical boundary value problem, namely a floating stone column foundation under an embankment. Measurements of surface settlements and excess pore-water pressures at different depths are available for calibration. A subsequent statistical assessment of the calibration results is followed to assess the quality of the identified parameters in dependency of the different set of measurements evaluated. As a major result of this research, measures of the utility and reliability of the constitutive models for further predictive computations can be estimated.

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.
