The Behavior of a Thread-Bar Grouted Anchor in Soils from Local Strain Monitoring
Applied Sciences, 2020 International standards discourage the use of grouted anchors with a fixed length exceeding 10 m. However, grouted anchors with a fixed length between 10 and 20 m are frequently used in Italy to transfer high loads to ground with poor geotechnical ...

Effect of Thoracic Connective Lesion on Inter-Leg Coordination in Freely Walking Stick Insects
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Multi-legged locomotion requires appropriate coordination of all legs with coincident ground contact. Whereas behaviourally derived coordination rules can adequately describe many aspects of inter-leg coordination, the neural mechanisms underlying these ...
