Abstract: This paper is concerned with the variance-constrained controller design problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems with possible actuator faults. The stochastic nonlinearities ...

Abstract: Aimed at short bridge piers that are vulnerable to brittle shear failure in high earthquake intensity zones, seismic design countermeasures for bridges with short piers were put forward in combination with the Guidelines ...

Abstract: An accurate and rapid estimation of the pavement temperature field is desired to better predict pavement responses and for pavement system design. In this paper, an innovative method to derive the theoretical solution of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative algorithm to calculate the displacement and stress fields within a multilayered pavement system using layered elastic theory and Hankel and Laplace integral transforms. In particular, a ...

Abstract: To elucidate the frost heaving mechanism of subgrade, as well as reduce cracking, subsidence, and mudding due to water freezing and thawing in seasonally frozen regions, temperature sensors were embedded in the subgrade ...

Abstract: This work investigates the influence of calcium leaching on mechanical and physical properties of limestone powder (LS)–cement pastes cured under different temperatures. In order to achieve this goal, three different mass ...
