Abstract
The volumetric expansion accompanying the phase transition from water to ice does not always cause structural deterioration in soil, as at low water contents the empty pore volume of the soil may be sufficient to contain this expansion. The objective of this study was to investigate the volume change in soils of varying clay contents and initial water contents during the freezing process. Volume change upon freezing was measured for seven soils with clay contents ranging from 0.11 to 0.75 kg kg –1 . Curve fitting revealed percent saturation levels corresponding to maximum shrinkage, zero volume change and maximum expansion. Curves for all soils exhibited similar shapes, composed of zones dominated by volumetric decreases at values less that 63 to 70% saturation, and expansion at percent saturations above this level. Zero volume change occurred at percent saturations of 74 to 90%. Clay content was found to control the maximum amount of shrinkage, with greater shrinkage in soils with higher clay contents. Bulk soil volume decreases occur in non-rigid clay containing soils due to desiccation and shrinkage when frozen at low water contents.Key words: Volume change, soil freezing, cla

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.
