Abstract
Slope movements are generally classified into four different phases: pre-failure, failure, post-failure and eventual reactivation. In engineering applications, the pre-failure and failure phases are usually analysed using traditional numerical techniques, such as the finite-element method and the finite-difference method. However, these methods are often based on the assumption of small deformations and consequently are unsuitable for analysing the slope behaviour during the post-failure stage, which is usually characterised by very large deformations. To overcome this shortcoming, the material point method (MPM) is employed in the present study. Specifically, MPM is used to perform an analysis of a landslide in sensitive clays that occurred at Saint-Jude (Quebec, Canada) in 2010. To assess the accuracy of the analysis, the final profile and the displacement magnitude detected after the event are compared with those obtained by the numerical simulation. The results provided by MPM are in satisfactory agreement with field observations. The failure mechanism and the development of the failure surface within the slope are also reproduced successfully. These results also show that MPM is an attractive method for analysing the kinematics of landslides in sensitive clays, requiring also a limited number of conventional geotechnical parameters as input data.

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
