Abstract: In this paper, a discontinuous projection based output feedback adaptive robust control (ARC) scheme is constructed for a class of linear systems subjected to both parametric uncertainties and ...

Abstract: The groundwater flow velocity might be temporally variable instead of being a constant as most analytical solutions of solute transport in the subsurface commonly assume. This study investigates the impact of transient ...

Abstract: Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) have become a viable substitute for conventional concrete in orthotropic steel–concrete composite bridge decks (CBDs) because of their favorable tensile properties, which enhance ...

Abstract: AbstractDue to the complex construction processes, long construction cycles, poor deformation coordination, and lack of flexibility in the existing waterproof adhesive layer (WAL) for steel bridge decks, a new type of ...

Abstract: Cable-driven super-redundant robots (CDSSR) with slender and flexible bodies have wide application potential in narrow spaces. However, the control accuracy of the robot is affected by the instability of the operating ...

Abstract: Connections between precast bridge deck panels (PBDPs) have the risks of cracking and leaking during service life, influencing the performance and durability of PBDPs. High-performance materials offer the possibility for ...

Abstract: With the increasing global concern for environmental protection, the demand for low-carbon fire-resistive coatings is also growing. However, the traditional cement-based fire-resistive coatings generally contain a large ...

Abstract: Abstract Frequent earthquakes have significantly exacerbated instabilities in slopes. Accurately evaluating slope stability during seismic events remains a challenging task. In this study, a new method is proposed to ...
