Description of compression behaviour of structured soils and its application
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One of the most distinct characteristics of structured soils is the nonlinearity in the normal compression lines in a plot of specific volume or voids ratio against logarithmic mean or vertical effective stresses, when compared with reconstituted soils. The change in the compressibility (or compression index) with loading is attributed to structure degradation and is expressed as a function of the plastic straining. A direct description of the compression behaviour of structured soil is then established. The validity of this approach is examined via merely incorporating the newly defined normal compression line into the modified Cam-Clay constitutive model. Comparisons against a series of experiments on different types of soils illustrate the feasibility and advantage of the adopted methodology. The dependence of shear strength on the compression behaviour considered initially in critical-state soil mechanics is reemphasized here for structured soils. Analysis also indicates that the stiffness sensitivity coefficient, S λ , should be considered together with the traditional strength (or stress) sensitivity coefficient, S t (or S σ ), to better characterize the sensitivity of structured soils.

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.
