Abstract
The current inclination toward establishing a mechanistic pavement analysis scheme to support rehabilitation design will require adopting mechanical materials properties. Mechanistic properties are needed for establishing the material-mechanics link, which represents the most effective approach for accurately predicting the response of road structures and their performance. Physical characteristics served early design practices with a common understanding among users that a more robust approach is needed to address rehabilitation design requirements effectively. Current attempts to improve material characterization based on the outcome of mechanical tests focusing on unbound materials are discussed. It is concluded that simplifying assumptions built in the proposed testing schemes and the manner in which these properties are determined overlooked other critical behavior indicators. Results of field and laboratory investigations highlight the need for capturing permanent deformation, and a more effective characterization technique for unbound material is described. Following this new approach, conventional resilient modulus and permanent deformation determinations were examined for a variety of native soils and processed material (crushed stones). Implementation of the new characterization technique in analytical models is also discussed.

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
