Abstract
Sustainability of modern civil engineering structures is the broad objective of the present paper. Infrastructures should be designed and built to be used satisfactorily over longer life spans without collapse or deterioration requiring major repair. Progress in materials, analysis, and design makes it possible to achieve a life span for concrete infrastructures of 100–125 years. An appropriate life span can be a contractual requirement for all civil engineering infrastructures. For these objectives, provisions for lasting satisfactory serviceability are increasingly adopted in codes. Only deficient serviceability or strength, developing gradually over a number of years, is discussed. Lessons to be learned from collapse, excessive deflection and cracking of bridges, and intolerable sagging of slab floor are discussed. The paper presents limited means to control long-term deflection and cracking of bridges, including slab bridges and flat-plate floors; other recommendations that enhance sustainability of future infrastructures are put forward.

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
