Abstract
<p>The new 102nd Avenue Bridge over Groat Road in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is a 113 m long “character” bridge that spans over Groat Road which is located in a 22 m deep ravine. The bridge replaced a 104 year old bridge on steel trestles. The selection of the replacement bridge had to take into account several factors including marginally stable steep ravine slopes and traffic disruptions in the urban environment. An integral abutment bridge design concept was developed, consisting of an 83 m long main steel span connected to 15.6 m long integral concrete abutments supported on hybrid steel and concrete piles at the back and sliding bearings at the front of each abutment. This concept created several design challenges:</p><ul><li> <p>Thermal movement range is considered to be at the upper limits for integral abutment bridges;</p></li><li> <p>Potential for uplift at the back of the abutments due to the abutments acting as short back-spans;</p></li><li> <p>Force continuity between the 83 m steel span and the abutments; and</p></li><li> <p>Construction sequence required to connect the concrete abutments to the steel span.</p></li></ul><p>This paper presents the design concept and approaches, and construction methods for this structure.</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
