Structural Behaviors of a Low-Profile Steel Plate–Reinforced UHPC Deck Panel with Longitudinal Ribs

Steel and concrete composite slab is a new type of bridge deck, which is consist of steel plate and concrete slab connected by shear connectors such as perfobond ribs ( usually abbreviated as PBL), studs and so on. Static experiment about four pieces of one-way steel and concrete composite slab using PBL was carried, and the whole-process structural behaviors and failure mode were investigated. Based on the spatial beam element model with the degenerated theory, the nonlinear finite element analysis on experimental specimens was executed. Such structural behaviors as concrete cracking, yield of steel plate, crushing of concrete, and so on are simulated, and are compared with the experimental results. It can be observed that excellent agreements are achieved between experimental results and numerical simulation.

Coronary artery stenting has evolved substantially since the first use of coronary stenting as an adjunct to balloon angioplasty in the early 1990s. The performance (and particularly the deliverability) of coronary stents has improved such that coronary stenting is now the primary mode of revascularisation for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in more than 95% of cases. The new Svelte™ stent-on-a-wire (SOAW) delivery system represents one of the first substantive innovations in stent delivery systems (SDS) in more than a decade. This SDS uses a shapeable ‘fixed wire’ as an integral part of the SDS. This allows a significant reduction in SDS profile (~0.029 inches) compared with conventional monorail or over-the-wire SDS. This SOAW SDS is intended to facilitate direct stenting. It has the potential to provide substantial procedural cost savings by eliminating the need for a coronary guidewire and balloon pre-dilatation and/or post-dilatation, and by reducing contrast use and the time required to complete the procedure. The SOAW system is compatible with 5Fr guiding catheters, and may reduce the need for closure devices, facilitate stenting via the radial approach and (potentially) reduce bleeding risks. In conclusion, the Svelte SOAW SDS represents a new very-low-profile balloon-expandable SDS that should promote direct stenting in PCIs. The efficiency and small profile of this SDS may allow procedural cost savings, a reduction in procedure time and a reduced risk of bleeding complications. These theoretical advantages will need to be demonstrated in clinical trials.
