Recycled concrete brick (RCB) is manufactured by recycled aggregate processed from discarded concrete blocks arising from the demolishing of existing buildings. This paper presents research on the seismic performance of RCB masonry walls to assess the applicability of RCB for use in rural low-rise constructions. The seismic performance of a masonry wall is closely related to the vertical load a...

The purpose of this study was to determine the failure load and stiffness of various meniscal repair devices. A total of 61 fresh-frozen porcine menisci (medial and lateral) were used for the study. A 30-mm vertical, full-thickness tear was created and repaired using one of three all-inside fixation devices and one inside-out repair in the vertical mattress pattern. We used the MaxBraid (Biomet...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the strength and fracture pattern of monolithic posterior CAD/CAM crowns hypothesizing that zinc-phosphate cemented lithium disilicate crowns might show the same fracture strength as adhesively cemented crowns. METHODS Two sets of monolithic posterior crowns each with uniform occlusal and lateral wall thickness of 1.5mm were fabricated from three types of block...

BACKGROUND Preoperative periarticular bone quality is affected by joint loading. The purpose of this study was to determine the periarticular bone mineral density of the knee joint of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, and whether the location of the load-bearing axis correlates with the measured bone mineral density. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bone mineral densities of the medial an...
