Work input analysis for soils with double porosity and application to the hydromechanical modeling of unsaturated expansive clays
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A mechanical approach for unsaturated expansive soils considering double porosity has been developed based on the porous media theory. In this approach, the adsorbed and the capillary water, as well as the micropores and macropores, are two distinct phases. An interaggregate stress considered as the work-conjugate of the macrostructural strain increment has been defined. Both physicochemical and capillary effects of the pore water have been introduced at the macroscopic level. Other work-conjugate variables relevant for the constitutive modeling of double-porosity unsaturated media have also been identified, consisting of the modified suction as conjugate of the increment of the macrostructural degree of saturation and the microstructural effective stress as conjugate of the microstructural volumetric strain increment. A hydromechanical model for unsaturated expansive clays taking into account the interaction between the micro- and the macrostructures in expansive clays can thus be built. Based on the bounding surface concept, an anisotropic loading – collapse yield surface has been introduced to reproduce the three-dimensional mechanical behavior. To analyze the model capabilities, two series of laboratory tests consisting of multiple wetting and drying cycle tests on Boom clay and triaxial tests on Zaoyang (ZY) expansive clay were simulated. The comparisons between numerical and experimental results show that the model can reproduce with reasonable accuracy the mechanical behavior and the water retention characteristic of unsaturated expansive clays.

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.
