Abstract
The intent of a new parametric study at the University of Calgary is to investigate the influence of several factors on the flexural bond strength of clay brick masonry. These factors include the absorption characteristics of the brick units, and varying construction and curing methods. A preliminary study was performed with a series of clay brick prisms built from different types of brick with various absorption characteristics, and cured at different conditions. The bond wrench test was used to determine the flexural bond strength between the mortar and brick. The results showed high variation, but did provide some indication of which factors may be contributing to the highly variable findings. The objectives of this continuing study are to eliminate the possible parameters that were causing the highly variable results, and to determine correlations between brick properties and bond strength. The results are presented in this paper. Further research will be ongoing to establish a more definite relationship between the various parameters and bond strength and to investigate effects of mortar, and curing conditions.

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
