Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Conducting laboratory tests in geotechnical engineering is a costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive process. As an alternative solution, this study employs various machine learning methods to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of fine-grained soils stabilized by combining chemical additives (such as Portland cement, lime, and industrial and agricultural waste) and nanosilica. After preparing a comprehensive database of a collection of studies from the literature, ten machine learning models were developed for modeling, and their performances were compared using various metrics. After comparing the performance of the models in predicting the UCS with experimental results, the CatBoost model was determined as the optimal model. The variables of curing time, liquid limit of soil, and additive contents were identified as the most effective parameters on the stabilized soil’s UCS. The best-performing model on the applied dataset was determined and compared with experimental models. After determining the effective parameters for predicting the strength of stabilized soil, the nonlinear relationships between the most important variables and the stabilized soil’s UCS were analyzed and investigated.

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.
