Abstract
Abstract Microbial induced desaturation and precipitation (MIDP) is an emerging bio-mediated ground improvement method in which nitrate-reducing bacteria in the soil are stimulated to produce biogas and biominerals. In this study, the potential of MIDP for mitigating soil liquefaction was evaluated using a modified triaxial setup. Modifications to the triaxial test setup allowed the change in the degree of saturation during treatment and the mechanical response to cyclic and monotonic loading to be measured. An experimental procedure was developed to simulate the in situ treatment process of a sand layer underneath an embankment along the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, which was susceptible to liquefaction. Denitrifying microbes were enriched from locally collected soil. Reconstituted samples were treated with a single MIDP treatment cycle under similar stress conditions as encountered in the field. Triaxial consolidated undrained cyclic and monotonic tests were performed to investigate the mechanical response of the treated soil. Results showed that a single MIDP treatment cycle reduced the degree of saturation to 80 % and produced an average calcium carbonate content of 0.086 %, and significantly increased the cyclic shear resistance.

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
