Abstract The Palu Earthquake on September 28th, 2018, which was followed by a tsunami and liquefaction, caused massive damage to infrastructure in City its surroundings, include III Bridge as an Australian steel truss structure with span of 2 x 60 m. need for evaluation the post-earthquake bridge can be done Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) method detect transverse longitudinal direction bridge, cr...

Viscoelastic elements of Kelvin-Feugt type are supposed to be used for modelling dynamic influences from the transport side and behaviour separate whole structure as a whole. Periodic monitoring bridge crossings using considered approaches will make it possible detect presence defects in span itself, associated with formation cracks, spalling, because such estimated frequencies change.

conclusions preservation of mitral annulus and papillary muscle continuity may enhance post- mvr cardiac performance with low mortality and morbidity rates. the risk of pvd was not significantly higher than conventional mvr in our series. results the improvement of functional status was seen in almost all survivors but was more obvious in the group i. in early follow-up, 56.4% of group i cases ...

Fatigue cracks often occur in the deck asphalt pavement of steel bridges at top longitudinal stiffening rib. To prevent this issue, traditional design strategy bridge structure was optimized, and a new approach is presented. This optimization technique exploits strength simulation steel—epoxy structure, stress concentration location subsequently determined. A solid model including sensitive are...

Through on-site defect investigation, special inspection, and finite element simulation calculation of a high-speed upper-span (30 + 32 30) m prestressed concrete box girder bridge, the overall sliding force bridge on right side platform 0# is analyzed. In this situation, typical defects such as slippage, support dislocation, pier column deviation, bottom cracks have occurred in overpass. At sa...

BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading indication for lung transplantation; however, these patients rarely gain priority on the waiting list until very late. The clinical status can be improved by surgical lung volume reduction; this procedure, although carries significant morbidity, has been repeatedly advocated as a bridge. Recently, bronchoscopic lung volume r...
