Abstract
Aging earth fill dams that were constructed in the mid-1950’s are beginning to show signs of instability associated with time-dependent degradation of shear strength. The strength degradation can be attributed to fissures, leaching of cementation, and creep in highly plastic clays, among other issues. The time-dependent processes are being examined in an earth fill dam that experienced slope instability but did not result in a loss of water. This paper discusses research findings on the mechanisms of delayed slope instability of an earth fill dam. Identifying the operating mechanisms of instability is useful in developing sound and practical remedial measures. It is also a useful way of being more proactive on the part of engineers in assessing the stability of dams at other generating stations that may not satisfy modern dam safety standards.

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
