In this way, it was verified that the project adopted for strengthening of the structure was not adequate to support the evolution of the maximum load over time and the overload due to widening, and it was also verified that the changes in the load factor do not comply with the update of the Brazilian Technical Standards ABNT: NBR-7188 [1]. The retro-analysis of the bridge rehabilitation project has demonstrated fundamental importance to avoid possible design failings, accidents, and reworks. Affirming that it is essential to comply with Standards and Technical Manuals on the elaboration of the rehabilitation project of structures and in choosing the type of intervention to the existing structure.展开更多

The objective is to design a smooth adaptive maneuvering controller to solve the geometric and dynamic tasks with an arbitrary small steady tracking error. The method of adding a power integrator and the robust recursive design technique are employed to force the system output to track a desired path and make the tracking speed to follow a desired speed along the path. An example is considered and simulation results are given. The proposed design procedure can be illustrated by the use of this example.展开更多
