A pallet rack is a structure in which the beams and uprights are cold-formed steel sections. The beam-upright connections are normally clipped in order to select the beam levels required and for ease of assembly. For this reason, the uprights contain holes and perforations distributed along their length. The complexity of these components, with local, distortional and torsional/flexural bucklin...

cfrp composites have unique application qualities such as high resistance and durability to environmental conditions, having relatively low weight and easy to install in strengthening concrete structure elements. the brackets should be strengthen sufficiently if they are not calculated and implemented well. application of the cfrp is one of the methods for such purposes. the study involves usin...

In this paper, five sets of multi-bolted joint shear tests are designed to study the effect bolt middle distance on bearing performance joints, and analyze failure modes specimens. The main conclusions as follows: For M10 bolts (grade 8.8) bamboo curtain plywood connections. When spacing increases 50mm, ultimate capacity nodes tends be stable; initial stiffness joint, has no obvious joint. Howe...

PURPOSE To study the biomechanical characteristics (percent stretch, stiffness, and ultimate load) of 2 tendon-prosthesis techniques used to connect the proximal tendon stump to silicone active tendon implants used in reconstruction of flexor tendons. METHODS We evaluated percent stretch following cyclic loading and at failure, stiffness during load to failure, and ultimate load of 16 tendon-...

Precast load-bearing shear wall panels are used extensively for high-rise construction because of the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection and the overall integrity of the structure. This paper presents the results of a research program conducted to investigate ...

Tendons are frequently targets of injury in sports and work. Whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have beneficial effects on tendon healing is still a matter of debate. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of flunixin meglumine (FM) on tendon healing after experimentally induced acute trauma. Twenty eight adult male New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to complete t...

high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite (hpfrcc) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading. in this paper, experimental and parametric studies are performed to assess the influence of using hpfrcc material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams. after calibrating the experimental results, the analytical results inc...

This research investigated the flexural behavior of high-strength steel (HSS)—concrete composite beams. The effect concrete strength on load-deflection behavior, capacity, and ductility HSS—concrete beams was investigated. Four full-scale beam specimens were tested under static load. test results demonstrate that failure mode is member compression fracture at mid-span. exhibits good mechanical ...
