the present study focuses on the performance of precast concrete beam-column dowel connections subjected to cyclic loading by conducting experiments. in this study, one-third scale model of two types of precast and a monolithic beam-column connection were cast and tested under reverse cyclic loading. the precast connections considered for this study is a beam-column connection where beam is con...

The application of self-tapping screws as reinforcement on glulam connections has been proven effective. However, the implication different thread configurations effectiveness remains unknown. This paper conducted experiments using with various in embedment-strength tests and tensile connection tests. Results show that one third achieved similar improvement embedment strength mechanical propert...

Engineered wood products (EWPs) are being increasingly used as construction materials. EWPs currently made using synthetic adhesives or metal fasteners, which lead to poor recyclability and reusability. Therefore, this review paper focused on emerging adhesive- metal-free assembling techniques including dowels, rotary-dowel welding, wooden nails, dovetail joining alternative ways of making pref...

Hydrogen peroxide is used to cleanse and irrigate wounds. As it decomposes immediately into water and oxygen on contact with organic tissue, it is usually regarded as a safe agent. We report a case of oxygen embolism associated with hydrogen peroxide irrigation of the surgical field during anterior fusion of the cervical vertebrae. It was accompanied by precipitous hypotension and decrease in p...

Abstract The objective of this case series was to report the outcome a new technique for surgical treatment phalangeal fractures in cats and dogs. Medical records dogs presented with treated dowel pinning were retrospectively reviewed. Cases included when clinical examination radiographic follow‐up evaluation at least 6 months available. Complications during healing period final functional anal...

Metacarpal and metatarsal fractures are common injuries in small animals. They account for 8.1% and 3.3% of all fractures in dogs and cats respectively. This article will discuss the management options available including both surgical and conservative options of metacarpal and metatarsal fractures and the treatment options available. Surgical options discussed include bone plating, dowel pinni...

Dowel-type connections are common in timber engineering, but current design codes largely based on empiricism and oversimplified. This inhibits the optimised use of connections, which is essential for economically efficient structures. study investigates 3D computational modelling to predict slip modulus (a key measure stiffness) single double shear, dowel-type featuring a softwood dowel. Initi...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Given that meticulous implant prosthodontic procedures are recommended to obtain the best possible intraoral fit, the die systems used for multi implant casts warrant further investigation. Die stone expansion and errors introduced by removable die casts may exceed the accuracy required for the passive fit of implant prosthesis. PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to eva...
