Abstract
Joint design for municipal water, wastewater, and storm pipes has largely focused on satisfying index tests, without estimation of kinematic (e.g., rotation) or static (e.g., shear force) demands, and no direct evaluation of whether demands will exceed kinematic and static capacities. An overview is presented of recent studies to establish the nature and magnitude of the expected demands under differential ground movements, and to develop joint performance tests to quantify resistance capacity of the joint. Experiments on buried PVC, reinforced concrete, and vitrified clay pipes subjected to differential ground movements have been used to evaluate joint rotations and shear forces, as well as to record when leakage initiates; tests on other pipe types are planned. A joint testing apparatus from a recent project was then used to study joint leakage under combinations of shear force and joint rotation, introducing the new concept of ‘leakage envelope’. This should support work defining limits to ground movements that specific jointed pipelines can tolerate.

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
