Abstract
Internal erosion refers to the movement of fine particles within soil framework due to subsurface water seepage. Existing criteria for assessing internal erosion usually are based on static loading, and the effect of cyclic load is not considered. Additionally, there are limited studies to examine the particle-size distribution and origin of eroded fine particles. This study presents an experimental investigation that examines the impact of cyclic loading on internal stability through a series of seepage tests. The composition and origin of lost particles are quantitatively studied using particle staining and image recognition techniques. With increasing hydraulic gradient, particle erosion progresses from top layer to bottom layer, with a gradual increase in the maximum particle size of eroded particles from each layer. After significant loss of particles, the specimens reach a state of transient equilibrium, resulting in a gradual slowdown of both particle loss rate and average flow velocity. The results indicate that cyclic loading promotes massive particle loss and causes erosion failure of specimens that are considered stable according to existing criteria. The reason is that under cyclic loading, local hydraulic gradients is oscillating, and a larger than average hydraulic gradient may occur, which is responsible for the internal instability. The analysis suggests that existing criteria can provide a reasonable assessment of the relative stabilities of specimens under static loads but fail to capture the stabilities under cyclic loading conditions.

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
