Abstract
Abstract The demand on the longitudinal reinforcement due to shear has been traditionally based on statics but has rarely been measured. Empirical assumptions needed for the concrete stiffness and the variability of reinforcement strain due to cracking and disturbed regions complicate these measurements, and make the use of conventional strain gauges impractical. This paper investigates the use of distributed measurements from a large reinforced concrete beam test to study the effects of disturbed regions, forces at a crack, shrinkage, and the in situ modulus of elasticity of concrete. The increased demand due to shear on the longitudinal reinforcement was observed, and the Canadian code was shown to provide an accurate upper bound to the measured strain at service loads. The measured longitudinal strains were also used to estimate the average angle of principal compressive stress, and it was observed to decrease with applied load, reaching values as low as 14° near failure.

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
