Research was conducted for the development and evaluation of an alternative ground anchorage system for US Army quick deployment structures. The following criteria were required: mechanized anchor installation with manual backup, ability to anchor TEMPER structures with internal pressure of 2.6 psf (124.5 Pa) in 65 mph (29.1 m/s) winds, functionality in all expected deployment soil types, and t...

Stability of Geosynthetic Lining Systems is, for a geotechnical standpoint, a complex matter. Three geomechanical questions were identified: sliding of the geosynthetic lining system on slope, pull-out strength of the geosynthetic anchorage at the top of the slope, rain erosion of the cap cover. Research programmes carried out in France on these topics, , are presented. Use of laboratory facili...

A sensitivity analysis based on numerical simulation is presented, in order to investigate the anchorage resistance of root systems. The form and mechanical characteristics of roots used in the models were derived from experimental results found by previous authors. Finite element models were developed to analyse the mechanical process of uprooting. The analysis of local phenomena occurring dur...

 Abstract Reports have shown that molars can be distalized successfully with virtually no orthodontic anchorage loss with an intraosseous anchorage, even with fully erupted second molars. The purpose of this study was evaluating the effects of mini-screws as skeletal anchorage for upper molar distalization. In this case series, three patients needing maxillary first molar distalization,...

The tree resistance to uprooting is crucial face wind damage in temperate forest. Tree anchorage varies considerably with site conditions, species, and age. Only few studies have focused on the influence of soil properties anchorage. With ongoing climate change, hydrologic conditions are changing Europe due higher precipitations during winter, possible risk forests. This study investigates role...

Nemaguard has been the workhorse rootstock of the California almond industry for many decades. It is well adapted to the well-drained, non-calcareous loam and sandy loam soils common throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Nemaguard is vigorous, immune to rootknot nematode, compatible with all almond varieties, doesn’t sucker much, has decent anchorage and is easy to grow at the nursery. However, th...

A 16-year-old Class II female patient was treated without tooth extraction. The upper first molars were distalized by the Pendulum appliance. After six months, the molars tipped significantly to the distal. To correct this side effect, we decided to upright the molars using skeletal anchorage. On each side, a mini-screw was inserted between first and second premolars in the buccal cortical plat...

Introduction: In orthodontic treatment, adequate anchorage is necessary to move the intended teeth. In some cases, just anterior teeth are malaligned, while posterior occlusion is acceptable. Therefore, the posterior teeth could be integrated by fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) to provide a rigid anchorage. This method proved advantageous since brackets are bonded just to anter...
