Proposed Limits of Stiffener Spacing Requirements for EBF Links Within the Framework of Eurocode 8

Design specifications for Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) provided by both the current AISC and Eurocode (EC) 8 seismic provisions are primarily based on physical tests conducted in the early 1980s. The tests investigated the behavior of, mostly short, ...

Optimization of multi-directional fiber architecture for resistance and ductility of bolted FRP profile joints

Thomas Keller, Lulu Liu, Xin Wang

In view of the low structural efficiency of bolted joints in pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) profiles with mainly unidirectional (UD) fiber architecture, off-axis plies were considered as an effective way to improve bolted joint performance. An ex ...

Predrilled locking compression plate is more accurate than tension band wiring in restoring articular geometry of the ulnar greater sigmoid notch after olecranon Chevron osteotomy

Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair

Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by ...

A Calculation Method for Interconnected Timber Elements Using Wood-Wood Connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet

Wood-wood connections, widely used in the past, have been progressively replaced by steel fasteners in timber constructions. Currently, they can be manufactured and implemented more efficiently thanks to digital fabrication techniques. In addition, with th ...

Non-setting, injectable biomaterials containing particulate hydroxyapatite can increase primary stability of bone screws in cancellous bone

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger, Jorge Solana Munoz

BACKGROUND: Fracture fixation in weak bone is still a clinical challenge. Screw augmentation was shown to successfully increase their primary stability. The currently used calcium phosphate or polymeric bone cements, however, present important drawbacks su ...

Variability of the pullout strength of cancellous bone screws with cement augmentation

Dominique Pioletti

Background: orthopaedic surgeons often face clinical situations where improved screw holding power in cancellous bone is needed. Injectable calcium phosphate cements are one option to enhance fixation. Methods: paired screw pullout tests were undertaken in ...

Integral Mechanical Attachment for Timber Folded Plate Structures

Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...

Experimental testing and simulation of bolted beam-column connections having thick extended endplates and multiple bolts per row

Alain Nussbaumer, Gary Scott Prinz, Luís Costa Borges, Shyam Khadka

Retrofit of existing steel buildings often requires strengthening of the connection regions. One common connection, the bolted beam-column connection, is often strengthened in design using stiffened extended endplates, or with continuity plates welded betw ...

Atomistic simulation of the a(0) < 1 0 0 > binary junction formation and its unzipping in body-centered cubic iron

Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the formation of the a(0) < 1 0 0 > binary dislocation junction in body-centered cubic Fe. Results show that under an applied strain two intersecting 1/2 a(0) < 1 1 1 > dislocations, one mobile edge and one im ...

Injectable calcium phosphate cement for augmentation around cancellous bone screws. In vivo biomechanical studies

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann

In lower cancellous apparent bone density, it can be difficult to achieve adequate screw fixation and hence stable fracture fixation. Different strategies have been proposed, one of them is through augmentation using calcium phosphate cement in the region ...

In vivo assessment of local effects after application of bone screws delivering bisphosphonates into a compromised cancellous bone site

Dominique Pioletti, Alireza Roshan Ghias

Background: The primary stability of cancellous screw is difficult to obtain in bone of compromised quality and failure of screw fixation is common. To overcome this problem, it is proposed to locally deliver bisphosphonate from the screw An in vivo valida ...
