Remedying embankment thaw settlement in a warm permafrost region with thermosyphons and crushed rock revetment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Due to the special engineering geology characteristics of permafrost, construction in permafrost regions tends to result in serious permafrost-related engineering problems. Thaw settlement induced by permafrost degradation is the principal challenge for railway construction on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. It threatens the stability and safety of the railway system, especially in warm and ice-rich permafrost regions. Thaw settlement in section DK1139+780 along the Qinghai-Tibetan railway is a potential risk to the safety of the railway, and a combination of closed thermosyphons and crushed rock revetment was used to remedy permafrost warming and thaw settlement of the embankment. Based on ground temperatures and embankment deformations observed at this site since 2002, the effects of the remedial measures were evaluated. The results show that the remedial measures lowered the ground temperature and raised the permafrost table. The crushed rock slope protection acted as an insulation layer and reduced heat flux into the embankment. The thermosyphons lowered the permafrost temperature and had a good cooling effect on the underlying permafrost. The results show that the remedial measures using two-phase thermosyphons and crushed rock revetment decreased the settlement of the embankment and improved the stability of the railway system.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
