Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Embankment dams primarily serve as structures for water containment. However, there is a growing demand for alternative usage, particularly from energy, mining, and forestry sectors. Allowing heavy vehicle transit on dam crests would improve access to the structures and the surrounding areas. Nonetheless, concerns arise regarding the safety and efficiency of embankment dams under heavy vehicle loads. There is a demand for innovative tools to facilitate decision-making processes by assessing the performance of embankment dams when subjected to heavy vehicle traffic. In the realm of unpaved road engineering, it is firmly established that the accumulation of permanent deformation under repeated loading is a key indicator of the performance of granular materials and soils. The paper aims to establish a model predicting the plastic strain rate in dam cores subjected to repeated heavy traffic, utilizing field measurements and laboratory testing of permanent deformation.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
