Abstract
Portland cement concrete (PCC) / asphalt concrete (AC) bonded components are seen in both conventional pavement structures as well as overlays. Due to the environmental and traffic loads, cracks occur at the interface of the PCC and AC layers and finally, may propagate through the interface or one of the layers. Therefore, the evaluation of bond strength between these layers is important. This paper investigates bond strength between asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete using a new sandwich test specimen. The developed specimen, called Bi-material semi-circular bend (BSCB) is made of asphalt concrete and the Portland cement concrete, cracked at the interface of the materials. First, the suggested specimen is introduced and characterized using finite element simulation. Then, the specimen is employed to obtain bond strength between asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete under mixed mode loading, and at two temperatures: -20C and 20C. The fracture toughness at different mixed mode conditions is obtained, and finally, fracture criterion for the tested bonded joints is presented.

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
