Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Opportunities abound in the field of structural design to make a meaningful contribution towards the reduction of our carbon footprint. Typical construction materials—steel and concrete—are among the highest CO2-emitting materials during their production. Production of one tonne of steel emits 1.8 tonnes of CO2, and production of one cubic meter of concrete, on average, emits 250 kg of CO2. A modest reduction in the use of steel and concrete in structural designs will go a long way in reducing CO2 emissions. The analysis of structural designs by us and other authorities shows that a reduction of 5% of steel and 5% of concrete in a building can be achieved without impacting the structural integrity by just being a little more judicious while designing. Being environmentally mindful while designing structural elements is what we call the 5% Solution.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
