Abstract
Abstract Based on recent advances in modelling the post‐yield behaviour of brittle rock, the authors have developed a calibrated inelastic model of the 7,910 level (2.4 km depth) at the Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada using data collected from the monitoring of pillar dilatancy. While this calibrated model represents a state‐of‐the‐art continuum approach for capturing the progressive development of yield and stresses in mine pillars, alternative state‐of‐practice approaches (elastic and perfectly plastic material models, for example) represent potentially acceptable options for practical application. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of constitutive model choice on stress paths throughout the pillar system at the mining level of interest. The strengths and limitations of various material models are compared and contrasted. Elastic models are shown to adequately represent the larger scale pillar system behaviour from a stress transfer perspective, whereas the state‐of‐art brittle modelling approach is shown to be ideal for understanding specific pillar‐scale stresses and yield.

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
