Membrane filter properties and application of the filter to undrained cyclic triaxial test of unsaturated materials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Properties of the membrane filter recently introduced as an alternative to the ceramic disk are revealed through diffusion and hydraulic conductivity tests. It is shown that diffusion of air through the membrane filter is significantly affected by suction magnitude and that hydraulic conductivity of the membrane filter can easily be affected by the quality of water used in the test. The application of the membrane filter to the soil-water characteristic curve tests (SWCC tests) shows that similar SWCCs can be obtained by employing pressure plate apparatuses with either the ceramic disks or the membrane filter installed, and that repeatability of the SWCC by using the membrane filter pressure plate apparatus is reasonably good. The application of the membrane filter to the undrained cyclic loading test of unsaturated sandy materials shows that the response (the duration to measure the equilibrated pore-water pressure of unsaturated materials) of the membrane filter pedestal in a modified triaxial system may be as short as ∼2 s in certain test conditions, and fairly good pore-water pressure and air pressure measurements can be obtained during undrained cyclic loading with a loading frequency of 0.1 Hz.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
