Abstract
The deformation behaviour and excess pore pressure response of 13 well-monitored embankments on soft ground that were constructed to failure have been analyzed. The analysis shows that by monitoring lateral displacement at the toe of the embankment and vertical displacement at the toe and about 5 m beyond the toe, the onset of impending failure of embankments on soft ground can be detected while the slope is at about 7090% of the failure height. This equates to an actual factor of safety of around 1.25. Monitoring of borehole inclinometers at the toe of the embankment, cracking of the embankment, and the pore pressure response and deformation during pauses in construction can provide useful additional data for detection of an impending failure.Key words: embankment on soft ground, deformation, pore pressure, failure, factor of safety.

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
