• 20 specimens were tested with the observation of five kinds failure modes. Angle thickness, horizontal and vertical bolt pitch affected mode connection. Significant plastic deformation appeared in both legs. The prediction formulas for performance connection are proposed. A mechanical model bolted angle is established verified. In this paper, an experimental study was carried out on under uni...

Beam-column joints constructed in the pre-seismic building code do not provide transverse reinforcement and good detailing within region. These cause occurrence of brittle shear failure, which is one factors affecting number reinforced concrete (RC) moment resistance structures collapsing during an earthquake. Therefore, this study a beam-column joint with non-seismic was designed strengthened ...

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has attracted much attention in China as a new and efficient method. However, the seismic performance of connections between precast piers other structures limits application ABC medium high zones. In this paper, quasi-static test was conducted to investigate differences cap–column socket connection (PSC) specimen, which reinforced an embedded RC column-to-...

Abstract Background and hypothesis The typical anterolateral approach is widely used to treat proximal humerus fractures with lateral locking fixation. However, fixation cannot completely avoid medial reduction loss varus deformity especially in the cases of an unstable column. We present a novel surgical technique together minimally invasive plate fix Materials methods performed anatomical stu...

The vertebral column has evolved to accommodate the broad range of locomotor pressures found across vertebrate lineages. Xenarthran (armadillos, sloths and anteaters) vertebral columns are characterized by xenarthrous articulations, novel intervertebral articulations located in the posterior trunk that are hypothesized to stiffen the vertebral column to facilitate digging. To determine the degr...
