Field<i>P</i>–<i>y</i>curves in weathered rock
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In weathered and decomposed rock profiles, the lack of an acceptable analysis procedure for estimating lateral load–displacement response of drilled shafts is compounded by the unavailability of weathered material properties, including the material's lateral subgrade reaction modulus. Such deficiency often leads to the overdesign of the drilled shaft foundation. Six field tests were conducted on drilled shafts to investigate the shape and magnitude of P–y curves in weathered rock material at three locations in North Carolina. The tested shafts were instrumented using dial gages, strain gages, and continuous vertical inclinometers. The measured load versus deflection data are used to study the stiffness response of weathered rock. Measured lateral responses are compared with the results estimated based on a "weak rock" model and a stiff clay model. The comparison shows that Reese's weak rock model overestimated the resistances of the tested shafts while the stiff clay model consistently underestimated the measured shaft resistances. The measured and computed results are analyzed and discussed.Key words: drilled shaft, weathered rock P–y curve, subgrade modulus, ultimate resistances in weathered rock, verification tests.

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.
