People with chronic ankle instability benefit from brace application in highly dynamic change of direction movements

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2021
Background The application of ankle braces is an effective method for the prevention of recurrent ankle sprains. It has been proposed that the reduction of injury rates is based on the mechanical stiffness of the brace and on beneficial effects on ...

Research on Whole-Process Tensile Behavior of Headed Studs in Steel–Concrete Composite Structures

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2021
The headed studs have been widely applied in steel–concrete composite structures as shear connectors. However, the tensile performance of headed studs is also key to the structural performance in many cases such as the semi-rigid composite joints ...

A Design Method for Semi-Rigid Steel Frame via Pre-Established Performance-Based Connection Database

Buildings, 2022
With decades of research, semi-rigid beam-to-column connections have been widely accepted. However, most studies have been restricted to the local connection level, leaving system-oriented analysis and design methods with a meager investigation, which ...

Numerical model for the non-linear dynamic analysis of multi-storey structures with semi-rigid joints with specific reference to the Algerian code [PDF]

, 2019
The current paper aims at investigating the dynamic response of rigid and semi-rigid connections of steel structures built in high seismic areas. A nonlinear dynamic analysis model, which is an extension to the simplified and direct mechanical model used

Effective length correction factor of disc-buckle type scaffolding by considering joint bending stiffness and geometrical size

PLoS ONE, 2022
Based on the theory of sway frame column, the equation of the effective length factor was derived in this paper. Combined with the characteristics of semi-rigid joints, the linear stiffness correction factor of horizontal bar was introduced, and the ...

Semi-rigid brace and taping decrease variability of the ankle joint position sense

Motriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2014
The present study investigated the effect of taping and the semi-rigid ankle brace on ankle joint position sense. Sixteen healthy women (20.8 ± 2.3 years old) actively placed the ankle in a target position. The experimental conditions were: 1) wearing no

Behaviour of pultruded beam-to-column joints using steel web cleats [PDF]

, 2013
Response of pultruded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) beam-to-column joints with steel bolted web cleats is studied through physical testing. Two joint configurations are considered with either three or two bolts per cleat leg, as per drawings in a ...

Toward the Development of Load Transfer Efficiency Evaluation of Rigid Pavements by a Rolling Wheel Deflectometer

Infrastructures, 2020
The jointed rigid pavement is currently evaluated by the Falling weight deflectometer which is rather slow for the testing of the jointed pavements. Continuous nondestructive evaluation of rigid pavements with a rolling wheel deflectometer can be used to

Effects of Semi-Rigid Connection on Structural Responses

Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2010
There are several idealizations in numerical analysis of structures. In the joints and supports, which is usually assumed to be pinned or rigid, semi-rigid connection should be considered to obtain more realistic, reliable and also economical results ...
