A Large Diameter Triaxial Apparatus to Measure Pore Pressure and Displacements on a Pre-existing Shear Zone/Plane
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The development of an apparatus to measure pore pressure and displacements on a pre-existing shear zone/plane during triaxial testing is presented. The apparatus includes a newly developed 405-mm diameter triaxial cell, a miniature pore pressure transducer for monitoring shear-induced pore pressures, and a displacement transducer for measuring shear displacements. Tests were performed by mounting the pore pressure transducer onto the face of a pre-existing shear plane in the specimen and installing the displacement transducer inside the triaxial cell to monitor local deformations. The results reveal that pore pressures measured on the shear plane and the base of specimens of Athabasca clay, Highvale mudstone, and Fort McMurray highly weathered limestone are identical at a shear displacement rate equal or less than approximately 18 mm/day. This implies that when the shear displacement rate is less than about 18 mm/day for rocks/soils that have a permeability greater than 10−8∼10−9cm/s, the pore pressure obtained from in situinstrumentation, which may not be set exactly on the shear plane, can be used as the shear zone pore pressure.

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.
