simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (ip) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. and dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (mcp) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of ip joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous mcp and ip joint dis...

The subject of this paper is the elements a timber lamella structure: lamellae and their joints. structure usually in diamond pattern, so it relies on additional to achieve stability. analysis precedes design prototype vault. characteristic pattern can be kept for rigid or semi-rigid joints challenging, focused systematization designed structures. existing were classified analyzed based five pa...

This paper presents an experimental investigation on Glued Laminated Timber (GLT) beams made with two tropical woods species, for structural purposes. Two wood species different density and under-exploited were chosen. These are Dacryodes buettneri (Ozigo) Pterocarpus osun (Padouk), Ozigo was taken as a reference species. A Phenol Resorcinol Formaldehyde (PRF) adhesive resistant to harsh enviro...

Timber construction has recently seen a significant regain of interest across range industries, owing to contemporary concerns for sustainability. In the marine industry, historic principles traditional wooden boatbuilding remain present, with empirical rules still common practice, as is case scarf joints. Moreover, laminated wood made more attractive and efficient thanks modern adhesives. Howe...

Nail joints are one of the key components that control lateral performance light wood frame shear walls. In previous experimental studies, researchers have used different loading rates, which failed specimens from less than a minute to more an hour, study characteristics nail joints. Moreover, there been protocols for testing timber or Although some efforts made address this subject, it is stil...
