Detection Of Buried Timber Trestles Using Surface Waves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents results from multi-channel analysis surface waves tests (MASW) conducted on an earth embankment to detect the location of rotten buried trestles in two different sections (A and B). In Section A, the locations of the trestles are known as well as the soil properties; thus, this section is used for calibration purposes. In Section B, the trestle locations are unknown. A seismic array of 24 geophones with a geophone spacing of 0.5 m is used. Different signal processing techniques were used for the analysis of surface waves to compute dispersion curves, power spectral density functions, distance-frequency contour plot, and wavelet transforms. Numercial and experimental results show that MASW tests were able to detect the location of buried trestles. MASW tests with a low-energy source (sledgehammer test) clearly show the location of buried trestles. Timber trestles can be detected by plotting the mean square value of the vibration energy. The effects of the trestles are also observed in the dispersion curves, the distance-frequency contour plot, and the Morlet wavelet transform. Not all source locations showed the location of timber trestles, likely because of the stronger effect of the ballast layer in this test.

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.
