Adding steel braces to reinforced concrete frames is a common way for seismic rehabilitation of these structures. Due to ease of installation and the possibility of creating openings in the braced bays, this method of rehabilitation has been more preferred than using shear walls. In this paper, three experimental specimens including a reinforced concrete frame, a reinforced concrete frame with ...

One of the common methods used as an alternative to shear walls in retrofit reinforced concrete (RC) structures is steel braces. The use braces preferred because its rapid application well increase stiffness and strength. By using different types frames, displacements can be reduced properties such structural performance, capacity, ductility, strength increased. If behavior characteristics hybr...

The second cohomology group of a left skew brace with coefficients in trivial non-trivial actions is defined, its connection extensions by braces established and Wells' like exact sequence relating the inducible automorphisms an extension constructed.

BACKGROUND Ankle sprains are the most common sports and physical activity related injury. There is extensive evidence that there is a twofold increased risk for injury recurrence for at least one year post injury. In up to 50% of all cases recurrences result in disability and lead to chronic pain or instability, requiring prolonged medical care. Therefore ankle sprain recurrence prevention in a...

Introduction Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) and bracing have been found to be effective in the stabilization of curves in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Yet, the difference among the many PSSEs and braces has not been studied. The present review attempts to investigate the role of curve correction in the outcome of treatment for PSSEs and braces. M...
