Abstract
Geotechnical engineers have been active in evaluating certain geo-structures in an effort to reduce their associated environmental impacts. However, there is a lack of understanding of how different design methods for the same type of geo-structure can affect the environment. Drilled shafts and driven piles can be designed in many different ways, and the selection of a valid design method entirely depends on the designer’s preference. In this study, single drilled shafts and driven piles are designed for theoretical sand profiles using eight different design methods, and a life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts of the designs. In a sustainable perspective, it is important to realize that the decisions made in engineering projects can potentially impose substantial and long-term impacts on the environment. As geotechnical engineers, careful selection of design methods and decision-making throughout geotechnical projects can possibly reduce those environmental impacts.

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
