Mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils from suction controlled ring shear tests
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The shear strength behavior associated with a large shear deformation of both the fine- and coarse-grained unsaturated soils is important in interpreting and forecasting the initiation and movement of landslides. For this reason, a suction-controlled ring shear apparatus was designed by introducing modifications to the conventional Bromhead ring apparatus extending the axis translation technique. A series of suction-controlled ring shear tests were performed on fine- and coarse-grained unsaturated soil specimens subjecting to large shear deformation. The experimental results are presented and interpreted for highlighting: (i) the shear stress/void ratio-shear displacement relationships; (ii) the envelopes of the residual shear strength; (iii) the void ratio, water ratio and degree of saturation of the fine-grained soil specimens sheared to the residual state under different net normal stresses and matric suctions. These results provide valuable information toward understanding and interpreting the behaviors of landslides in unsaturated soils that experience the first failure and the reactivation along a pre-sheared slip surface.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
