Pre- and post-cyclic behavior of mixed clayey soils
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Soil structures are often comprised or supported by soils that are mixtures of cohesive and granular geomaterials. These soils are termed as intermediate or mixed soils and are widely found in natural deposits and man-made soil structures. The objective of this paper is to study the behavior of mixed clayey soils under monotonic, cyclic, and post-cyclic monotonic loading, with the main focus on the last of these three. For this purpose, a number of strain-controlled monotonic, cyclic, and post-cyclic triaxial compression tests were carried out on “clay–sand” and “clay–gravel” mixtures in undrained conditions. The effects of sand (or gravel) contents, number of cycles, cyclic strain amplitude, consolidation pressure, and grain size on the mechanical behavior of the mixtures are evaluated. The major findings from the laboratory study are: (i) the addition of granular materials to the clayey soils increases excess pore-water pressure during strain-controlled monotonic undrained shearing and cyclic loading and (ii) during post-cyclic monotonic shearing, mixed clayey soils behave similarly to overconsolidated soils; the higher the granular material is, the higher the overconsolidation ratio would be. Based on the research results, an algorithm for estimating post-cyclic mechanical parameters of mixed clayey soils, without conducting cyclic and post-cyclic tests, is suggested.

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.
