Abstract
<p>The TallWood House at Brock Commons is an 18-storey mass timber hybrid student residence under construction at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. When completed in the spring of 2017 it will be 53m high – the tallest contemporary mass timber hybrid building in the world. Structural engineers at Fast + Epp collaborated with Acton Ostry Architects and Hermann Kaufmann Architekten. This paper will outline some of the unique structural engineering challenges associated with this mass timber building and the design strategies used to overcome them. Specific topics include two-way point supported CLT floor slabs, axial column shortening, CLT diaphragm design, tolerances, as well as dynamic wind induced vibrations. It will also review the project’s pre-fabrication process, on-site construction sequencing, and lessons learned.</p>

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
