Abstract
This study focuses on the integration of sustainable practices in construction projects by utilizing waste materials like waste plastic and rubber tires, specifically in Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) mixes. While adding plastic waste fibers (PF) has shown to enhance the performance of rigid pavements, the environmental and cost benefits are limited. On the other hand, using tire-derived aggregates (TDA) compromises the mechanical properties of PCC but offers significant environmental advantages and cost reductions. This study explores the outcomes of combining PF and TDA in PCC mixtures, assessing their impact on pavement performance through KENPAVE software, which evaluates deflections and cracking indices. Additionally, the environmental and cost effects of this combination are analyzed using the PaLATE 2.0 software, aiming to develop sustainable and economically viable rigid pavements.

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
