Abstract: This paper presents analysis of a particular force tracking control problem for rectilinear hydraulic actuators governed by a servovalve. It presents no new theory, but rather uses a revealing ...

Abstract: Previous research has employed social media index such as disaster-related ratio (DIRR) or damage-related ratio (DARR) and sentiment to estimate the damages during disasters. These studies mainly used predefined keywords ...

Abstract: The construction industry has encountered persistent stagnation in labor productivity spanning several decades. Although lean construction principles underscore the significance of information availability and transparency, ...

Abstract: As building information modeling (BIM) has become more widely adopted by the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry, its undeveloped potential for supporting facility management (FM) has ...

Abstract: In this study, perforated plates with sharp-edged orificed openings and finite-thickness straight openings were applied to produce nearly isotropic turbulence in a wind tunnel. At the same nominal ...

Abstract: As building information modeling (BIM) has become more widely adopted by the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry, its undeveloped potential for supporting facility management (FM) has ...

Abstract: Although data modeling methods for conceptual cost estimation are proven to be effective in academia, they are not adopted by construction practitioners as expected. To understand this fact and find solutions to the challenge ...

Abstract: In this study, the effects of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) and normal-strength concrete (NSC) as repair materials on the bond strength and overlay transition zone (OTZ) microstructure were investigated. The ...
