Abstract
Field studies and geothermal modelling show ground cooling below raised buildings in permafrost regions significantly offsets the ground warming impact of climate warming. For an adfreeze pile, the ground cooling below a raised building improves the capacity relative to pre-construction conditions. Many designers do not take credit for this cooling effect but propose to incorporate thermal mitigation in the design, such as the use of thermopiles. The adaptive adfreeze pile is an innovative concept that accounts for long-term cooling beneath raised buildings and the resulting enhanced pile capacity. The concept entails the installation of a closed ended steel pipe as a conventional adfreeze pile. If future ground temperatures warm above a design-specified threshold, a small diameter thermosyphon could be inserted into the interior of the hollow pile. The retrofitted thermosyphon, if ever required, would passively cool the ground during winter to reduce the mean annual ground temperature and maintain pile capacity. This approach is cost-effective compared to conventional thermopile design and provides greater thermosyphon performance assurances in the long-term. This paper details the application of this pile design for two multi-story buildings in Old Crow Yukon, and describes the geothermal background showing its technical feasibility and initial performance 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
