Selection of wind force resisting system is an important decision in the design tall buildings, especially for those located hurricane prone regions. Rigid frames, shear walls, braced framed tube, bundled tube and hybrid are common structural forms used to resist lateral forces produced due wind. Cables have a great potential be as element. Cable stayed hanging bridges guyed towers applications...

the objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for rc frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed n2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. a preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...

Background—Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) aVects respiratory muscles, which in addition to progressive scoliosis leads to respiratory impairment. Children with developing scoliosis are usually treated with spinal bracing to delay the progress. Aims—To assess the impact of body position and application of spinal bracing on lung function during tidal breathing in children with SMA. Methods—Lung fu...

abstract to resist lateral loads in concrete buildings, usually systems such as flexural frame, shear wall or their combinations are used. using x form of cable bracing in order to strengthen concrete buildings is a new method. this system is more economical compared with the other systems due to cables low weight, high tensile resistance, easy performance and less maintenance problems. in this...

In this paper, a real-time monitoring system—including vibration acceleration sensors, temperature and static dynamic strain sensors—is used to monitor the safety status of steel assembly bracing in practical project. It uses 5G wireless networking technology transmit data cloud server for early warning abnormal changes development trends. Real-time obtained construction site are as inputs fini...

Study Design. A retrospective review of 34 patients with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) treated with a nighttime bending brace. Objective. To determine the effectiveness of part-time bracing in JIS. Summary of Background Data. Although previous bracing studies have focused on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, no authors have dealt specifically with part-time bracing for JIS. Methods. Twenty...
