Nonlinear consolidation of soft foundation improved by prefabricated vertical drains based on elliptical cylindrical equivalent model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This study builds up an elliptical cylindrical equivalent model (ECEM) of prefabricated vertical drains (PVD)‐improved foundation which incorporates the nonlinear variation of compressibility and permeability and the preconsolidate state of soil. An exact solution and a simplified solution are derived for the nonlinear consolidation model under a combined vacuum and surcharge preloading. Considering the stratification of improved soil and the reduction of vacuum pressure along PVD, a precise settlement prediction method is proposed. The rightness and applicability of present solutions are verified by carrying out a series of comparative analyses. Also, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the characteristics of nonlinear consolidation under different , , over‐consolidation ratios (OCRs). The results show that, when the applied load has no impact on the dissipation of excess pore‐water pressure, whereas a larger applied load would induce a quicker settlement rate; the consolidation rate would be underestimated if the over‐consolidated stress history is neglected, and greater OCR produces more obvious underestimation.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
