For buildings subjected to blast loading, structural failure can be categorized into local failure (direct blast effects) and progressive collapse (consequential effects). In direct blast effects, the intensive blast pressures create localized failure of structural elements such as exterior columns and walls. Columns, and their behaviour, play a key role in these situations. Therefore investigating the behaviour of columns under blast loading is very important to estimate the strength, safety and reliability of the whole structure. When a building is subjected to blast loading, it experiences huge loading pressures and undergoes great displacement and plastic behaviour. In order to study the behaviour of an element under blast loading, in addition to elastic properties of materials, plastic and elastic-plastic properties of materials and sections are needed. In this paper, using analytical studies and nonlinear time-history analysis by Ansys software, the effects of shape of column sections and boundary conditions, on behaviour and local failure of steel columns under blast load are studied. This study identifies the importance of elastic-plastic properties of sections and proposes criteria for choosing the best section and boundary conditions for columns to resist blast loading.

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients frequently have several spinal deformities leading to postural instabilities including camptocormia, myopathy-induced postural deformity, Pisa syndrome, and progressive degeneration, all of which adversely affect daily life activities. To improve these postural deformities and relieve the related neurologic symptoms, patients often undergo spinal instrumentation surgery. Due to progressive degenerative changes related to PD itself and other complicating factors, patients and surgeons are faced with instrument failure-related complications, which can ultimately result in multiple revision surgeries yielding various postoperative complications and morbidities. Here, we report a representative case of a 70-year-old PD patient with flat back syndrome who had undergone several revision surgeries, including anterior and posterior decompression and fusion for a lumbosacral spinal deformity. The patient ultimately benefitted from a relatively short segment fixation and corrective fusion surgery.

The compressive fatigue tests on the closed cell Al-Si-Ca alloy foams with two different thicknesses were performed using a load ratio of 0.1. The quasi-static and cyclic compressive behaviors were obtained respectively. The fatigue stress-life (S-N) curves were evaluated from the obtained cyclic compressive behaviors. S-N curves were presented for the onset of progressive shortening. It turned out that the fatigue strength showed higher value for the thicker foam and the onset of shortening of thinner foam took place earlier. The crushing was found to initiate in a single band which broadens gradually with additional fatigue cycles. Progressive shortening of the specimen took place due to a combination of low cycle fatigue failure and cyclic ratcheting.

In this paper a 3-D continuum damage mechanics formulation for composite laminates and its implementation into a finite element model that is based on the layer-wise laminate plate theory are described. In the damage formulation, each composite ply is treated as a homogeneous orthotropic material exhibiting orthotropic damage in the form of distributed microscopic cracks that are normal to the three principal material directions. The progressive damage of different angle ply composite laminates under quasi-static loading that exhibit the free edge effects are investigated. The effects of various numerical modeling parameters on the progressive damage response are investigated. It will be shown that the dominant damage mechanism in the lay-ups of [+30/-30]s and [+45/-45]s is matrix cracking. However, the lay-up of [+15/-15] may be delaminated in the vicinity of the edges and at $+{\theta}/-{\theta}$ layers interfaces.

Investigating remained damages from terrible earthquakes, it could be concluded that some events including explosion because of defect and failure in the building mechanical facilities or caused by gas leak, firing, aftershocks, etc., which are occurred during or a few time after the earthquake, will increase the effects of damages. In this paper, by introducing a complete risk analysis which included direct and indirect risks for earthquake (the main shock) and aftershock, the corresponding robustness index was created that called as "robustness index sequential critical events risk-based". One of the main properties of the intended robustness index is using progressive collapse percentage in its evaluation. Then, in a numerical example for a 4-storey moment resisting steel frame structure, a method is presented for obtaining all effective parameters in robustness index evaluation based on the intended risk and at last its results were reported.

심부 터널 주변 암반의 파괴는 불연속면의 영향을 크게 받는 천부 터널 주변과 다르게 응력의 크기와 방향이 지배한다. 응력 지배 파괴의 양상은 응력 조건, 암석의 특성에 따라 연성과 취성으로 구분할 수 있으며 파석, 판상 파괴, 암석 파열 현상의 결과로 나타나는 V-형 홈 형태 취성 파괴 영역의 범위와 깊이는 심부 터널의 굴착과 보강 설계의 주요 인자이므로 이를 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 취성 파괴의 특성은 응력 조건에 따라 점착력 상실과 마찰력 전이로 구성된다는 점과 진행성 파괴라는 점이다. 본 연구는 이중 선형 절단 파괴 포락선과 탄성-탄소성 연계 해석과 점진적 탄소성 영역 확대라는 해석 절차와 방법을 도입하여 터널 주변 취성 암반의 파괴를 합리적으로 모사할 수 있는 3차원 수치 모델을 구현하였다. 이 수치 모델이 예상한 취성 파괴 영역의 깊이는 기존 사례 연구를 통한 경험식의 결과와 부합되었다.

Angiodysplasia is the most common vascular abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract and probably the most frequent cause of recurrent lower intestinal bleeding in otherwise healthy elderly patients. Also, it is an important cause of hemorrhage in chronic renal failure observed in up to 19~32% of patients. Bleeding due to gastric angiodysplasia is treated by various endoscopic approaches, including argon and Nd : YAG laser photocoagulation, monopolar or bipolar electrocoagulation, heater probe, injection sclerotherapy, band ligation or hemoclipping. A 15-year-old boy, who had undergone hemodialysis for chronic renal failure for about 10 years, was admitted due to melena and progressive anemia. A gastroduodenoscopy revealed a cherry red and fern-like lesion with oozing on the posterior wall at junction of gastric body and fundus. Endoscopic hemoclipping therapy was performed. However, melena recurred four days later. Argon plasma coagulation and hemoclipping therapy were performed again. Since then, no recurrence of bleeding has been observed.

This paper assesses the damage to high-set rectangular-plan houses with low-pitch gable roofs (built in the 1960 and 70s in the northern parts of Australia) to wind speeds experienced in tropical cyclones. The study estimates the likely failure mode and percentage of failure for a representative proportion of houses with increasing wind speed. Structural reliability concepts are used to determine the levels of damage. The wind load and the component connection strengths are treated as random variables with log-normal distributions. These variables are derived from experiments, structural analysis, damage investigations and experience. This study also incorporates progressive failures and considers the inter-dependency between the structural components in the house, when estimating the types and percentages of the overall failures in the population of these houses. The progressively increasing percentage of houses being subjected to high internal pressures resulting from damage to the envelope is considered. Results from this study also compare favourably with levels of damage and related modes of failure for high-set houses observed in post-cyclone damage surveys.
