Abstract
Fictitious crack model assumptions and equilibrium equations were used to develop a numerical model in order to predict the punching load and the deformations of reinforced concrete slabs. Concrete strength, aggregate type, reinforcement ratio as well as the fracture strength properties were taken into account in developing the new model. In spite of the low tensile strength of concrete, it has considerable fracture energy, therefore the fracture process zone in front of a growing crack can contribute to the flexural concrete strength. The proposed model adopted the fictitious crack model principles. The three equilibrium equations were used on a radial segment of the slab and the effect of crack size and size effect were incorporated in the formulation. The model results were compared with the experimental results and currently available shear design formulae to investigate the effect of the fracture properties on the predicted punching load. The model provided consistent and improved results compared to the existing codes.

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 it
