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...

Strengthening of the existing seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is an important issue in earthquake prone regions. Addition of RC shear wall as infill or external walls into the structural system has been a commonly preferred strengthening technique since the Big Erzincan Earthquake occurred in Turkey, 1992. The newly added rigid infill walls act primarily as shear walls ...

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...

A full-scale precast prestressed concrete (PC) pile-wharf specimen with a T-headed dowel bar connection detail was tested under realistic loading and boundary conditions. The testing program introduced several seismic protocols, which were determined from nonlinear dynamic analyses of typical U.S. port structure subjected to ground motions for various hazard levels. Conventional reversed cyclic...

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...

This study investigated the effect of exposure to elevated temperature on the yield strength of single-shear nail connections when subjected to lateral loading. Solid sawn lumber and laminated veneer lumber were used as framing members and two different thicknesses of both oriented strand board and plywood were used as the sheathing members. The connection geometries evaluated were typical of t...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM There are few published studies analyzing the effects of different ferrule lengths of endodontically treated teeth in relationship to newly developed fiber-reinforced and zirconia dowel systems. PURPOSE This in vitro study compared the effect of 3 different ferrule lengths on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of crowned endodontically treated teeth restored wi...
