Preferences for post‐traumatic osteoarthritis prevention strategies in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.

Performance of X and inverted V bracing systems in controlling progressive collapse of reinforced concrete buildings

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Progressive collapse can lead to partial or total failure of structures under extreme events such as explosions or earthquakes. While brace systems effectively enhance lateral stiffness, their use in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is limited due to ...

Buildings in Barcelona protected from railway-induced vibrations with base isolation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This work describes two mid-height RC base isolated buildings recently erected in Barcelona. Both buildings are located near the main railway station in Barcelona (Barcelona-Sants), thus undergoing dynamic excitations due to intensive railway traffic ...

Seismic Fragility Curves of RC Buildings Subjected to Aging

open access: yesGeoHazards
A large number of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have surpassed their anticipated service life and show signs of degradation due to aging; this degradation is a function of the construction practices adopted in the past as well as ...

A Practice-Oriented Procedure for Seismic Reliability Assessment of RC Structures Affected by Carbonation-Induced Degradation

open access: yesApplied Mechanics, 2021
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Europe have generally been designed without proper consideration of seismic actions and capacity design principles, and thus they tend to be vulnerable to earthquakes.
