Abstract: In this paper, a new model predictive control termed as intelligent model predictive control (IMPC) combined with an improved new competitive swarm optimizer (CSO) is designed. The analytical predictive model is not ...

Abstract: Joints are always the key issue of the precast bridge structures for accelerated construction. In this paper, the transverse joint of a fully precast steel–UHPC lightweight composite bridge was proposed. Based on the first ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a lightweight low-profile steel plate-reinforced ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) deck panel with only longitudinal ribs as an alternative to traditional bridge decks for long-span bridges. The ...
