Abstract
Many geotechnical processes related to offshore foundations and pipelines on clay soils involve intermittent episodes of remoulding and reconsolidation. To assess the resulting response, it is necessary to predict the operative soil strength, which decreases due to remoulding but can increase due to reconsolidation. A simple framework that allows these processes to be linked, via concepts from critical state soil mechanics, is described. The framework is illustrated by back-analysing a T-bar penetrometer test that involved episodes of both remoulding and reconsolidation, which was conducted in a geotechnical centrifuge. It is shown that the model can capture the surprising increases in both the intact and the remoulded strength that are observed between episodes of remoulding.

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
