As estruturas de concreto armado apresentam progressivamente deformações mais acentuadas, fazendo com que as paredes de vedação trabalhem, oferecendo resistência a esses deslocamentos surgindo assim patologias que se apresentam na forma de fissuras na interface pilar/alvenaria. Desse modo, surge a necessidade de estudos das ligações empregadas na interface pilar/alvenaria, que têm por objetivo “solidarizar” estrutura e alvenaria, distribuindo as deformações excessivas da estrutura que se traduzem na forma de fissuras e com isso diminuir a ocorrência de patologias nas alvenarias de vedação. Para tal, foram desenvolvidos ensaios de diferentes formas de ligação da interface pilar/alvenaria de modo a avaliar a eficiência dos dispositivos empregados no mercado da construção de edifícios de São Paulo atualmente, como a tela metálica eletrosoldada. Numa primeira etapa foram realizados ensaios de arrancamento direto à tração, de modo a se estudar o comportamento do dispositivo quando submetido ao esforço de tração. Foram ensaiados também prismas de alvenaria, com diferentes dispositivos de ligação inseridos de modo a se avaliar as resistências à tração das ancoragens inseridas na junta de argamassa, e numa terceira etapa, foram realizados ensaios em pequenas paredes, para se determinar o desempenho das ancoragens na ligação de paredes e pilares de concreto armado, na situação real. / Structures of reinforced concrete are becoming more slender, associated to the short time of building construction and with the lesser periods of masonry fixation in the structure, each time with more frequency can be observed the formation of pathological state in masonry. The structures of reinforced concrete progressively presents more accentuated deformation, making masonry to work, offering strength to these displacements, creating pathology that appears like cracks in the interface of column/masonry. Thus, it is necessary to study the bonds used in the interface column/masonry, wich has as objective “join” the structure and the masonry, spreading the excessive deformations of the structure that comes up as cracks, and diminishing the occurrence of damages in the forbid masonry. In order to do this, different tests in the interface column/masonry were developed in order to evaluate the efficiency of device used in the civil construction in São Paulo, as tela metálica eletrosoldada. In the first step, pull-out tests were done to sutdy the behavior of the device when submitted to a tensile strength. Prisms were also tested, with different kinds of bond gadgets inserted in order to evaluate the resistance in a traction of devices in the anchorages inserted in the grouts, and in a third step, small walls were tested to analyze the behavior of anchorages in the bond of wall and column, in the real situation.

Os implantes cone morse apresentam um travamento e vedamento por meio de atrito entre as paredes do implante e do pilar protético. Nos sistemas convencionais do tipo Hexágono externo e interno, para reduzir o afrouxamento dos parafusos protéticos, são utilizados materiais de cobertura de superfície, como carbono e ouro. Não foram encontradas referências na literatura da utilização desse tipo de deposição em componentes do sistema cone morse. O propósito desse estudo é mensurar, registrar e avaliar os valores do torque de desaperto em pilares protéticos dos tipos sólido e parafuso passante do sistema cone morse com a deposição de carbono na zona de atrito do pilar protético. Foram utilizados 40 implantes cone morse com seus respectivos pilares divididos em 4 grupos (n=10): G1- pilar sólido; G2- pilar sólido com deposição de carbono na zona de atrito do sistema morse; G3- estudo somente do parafuso do pilar passante; G4- estudo somente do parafuso do pilar passante com deposição de carbono na ponta ativa; G5- estudo somente do pilar passante sem ação do parafuso; G6- estudo somente do pilar passante revestido em carbono na zona de atrito do sistema morse sem ação do parafuso. Cada pilar recebeu uma seqüência de 5 apertos e desapertos (20Ncm para o pilar sólido e 10Ncm para o parafuso passante). Os resultados mostraram no teste estatístico ANOVA para dois fatores de variação (desaperto e carbono), haver diferença estatística significante entre os grupos: G1 maior que G2 (p < 0,01); G4 maior que G3 (p < 0,01); G6 maior que G5 (p < 0,01). Esse estudo concluiu que o grupo controle G1 mostrou maior valor através da media aritmética (23,706 Ncm) em relação ao grupo experimental G2 (22,114 Ncm); o grupo experimental G4 mostrou maior valor através da media aritmética (8,218 Ncm) em relação ao grupo controle G3 (7,354 Ncm) e o grupo experimental G6 mostrou maior valor através da media aritmética (10,268 Ncm) em relação ao grupo controle G5 (6,906 Ncm), mostrou também que não houve diferença significativa (p > 0,01) para o fator desaperto em todos os grupos estudados, ou seja, não houve interferência da deformação do material com a repetição dos ciclos de aperto e desaperto. / The morse taper implants present a locking and sealing by means of the attrition between implants internal walls and the abutment. In the external and internal conventional hexagon system, to reduce the prosthetic screw loosing, its used covering surface materials, as carbon and gold. Literature reference using these kind of surface deposition were not found in morse taper abutment implants. The aim of this study is to measure, register and evaluate the removal torque values in morse taper solid abutment and passing screw abutment with carbon deposition in attrition zone. They were used 40 morse taper implants with their respective abutments divided in 4 groups (n = 10): G1 solid abutment; G2 - solid abutment with carbon deposition in attrition zone; G3 evaluation only in the screw of the passing abutment; G4 - evaluation only in the screw of the passing abutment with carbon deposition in the screw thread; G5 - evaluation only in the passing abutment without the screw action; G6 - evaluation only in the passing abutment with carbon deposition in attrition zone without the screw action. Each abutment received a sequence of 5 tightening and removal torque (20Ncm in solid abutment and 10Ncm in passant screw abutment). The results of ANOVA statistic test for two factors of variation (removal torque and carbon), showed that there is significant statistic difference between the groups: G1 higher than G2 (p < 0.01); G4 higher than G3 (p < 0.01); G6 higher than G5 (p < 0.01). This study concluded that control group G1 showed a higher value through the arithmetical media (23.706Ncm) in relation of the experimental group G2 (22.114Ncm); the experimental group G4 showed higher value through the arithmetical media (8.218Ncm) in relation of the control group G3 (7.354Ncm) and the experimental group G6 showed higher values through the arithmetical media (10.268Ncm) in relation of the control group G5 (6.906Ncm), and also showed that there was not significant difference (p < 0.01) to the removal torque factor in all the groups studied, that is, there was not a material deformation interference with the tightening and removal torque cycles repetition.

A odontologia reabilitadora moderna preconiza cada vez mais o uso de implantes dentais para a substituição de dentes ausentes. É sabido que micro-organismos presentes na cavidade oral, em especial os relacionados à doença periodontal, são responsáveis pelos maiores índices de insucesso dos implantes. Este trabalho estudou a ocorrência de infiltração bacteriana através da interface implante-conector protético de implantes Cone Morse (CM) e Hexágono Interno (HI) após a associação com uma pasta antimicrobiana ou a adição de sais de prata nos pilares. Foram utilizados 72 implantes odontológicos de titânio (PROSS® - Sistema de Implantes, Dabi-Atlante, Ribeirão Preto, Brasil), 36 com conexão do tipo hexágono interno e 36 com conexão do tipo cone-morse, divididos em grupos, da seguinte forma: Grupo Pasta Antimicrobiana- 12 conjuntos implantes HI/conectores protéticos e 12 conjuntos implantes CM/conectores protéticos, Grupo Íons de Prata- 12 conjuntos implantes HI/conectores protéticos e 12 conjuntos implantes CM/conectores protéticos e Grupo Controle- 12 conjuntos implantes HI/conectores protéticos e 12 conjuntos implantes CM/conectores protéticos. Os implantes e os conectores protéticos foram retirados de suas embalagens para aplicação do torque final (20N/cm). Antes disso, em um dos grupos experimentais, uma camada da pasta antimicrobiana foi aplicada sobre a superfície interna dos implantes e conectores protéticos e seus respectivos parafusos. Os conjuntos implantes-conectores foram parcialmente imersos na solução de saliva humana em tubos de ensaio e incubados em estufa bacteriológica a 37°C durante 7 dias. Após esse período, amostras do conteúdo interno dos conjuntos implantes-conectores protéticos dos 3 grupos foram colhidas com o objetivo de detectar e quantificar os micro-organismos presentes, utilizando para isto, a técnica de hibridização com sondas de DNA genômico DNA Checkerboard. Os implantes de conexão do tipo cone morse apresentaram menores valores de contagem de bactérias quando comparados aos implantes hexágono interno no grupo Controle (p<0,001), já para o grupo Íons de prata e Pasta antimicrobiana, foi observado comportamento inverso, maiores valores de contagem de bactérias para os implantes Cone Morse. Comparando-se os implantes de mesma conexão, entre os 03 grupos examinados, as amostras dos implantes Cone Morse dos grupos Controle, Íons de prata e Pasta antimicrobiana apresentaram valor de contagens de micro-organismos em ordem crescente. Os implantes de conexão hexágonal interna dos grupos Controle apresentaram maiores valores de contagens de micro-organismos seguidos pelos implantes do grupo Pasta antimicrobiana e Íons de prata, respectivamente. A partir dos resultados obtidos pode-se concluir que houve a passagem dos 43 micro-organismos analisados in vitro através da interface implante/componente protético em ambos os sistemas avaliados. Para ambos os tratamentos (adição de sais de prata às paredes dos pilares protéticos e aplicação da pasta antimicrobiana no interior dos implantes) houve diminução da infiltração microbiana no interior daqueles sistemas de conexão do tipo Hexágono Interno. / The contemporary and modern dentistry has been preconized the use of dental implants for replacement of missing teeth. The micro-organisms presents in oral environment, particularly those related to periodontal disease, are responsible for the highest failure rates of dental implants. This study evaluated the occurrence of bacterial leakage through the abutmentimplant interface in Morse Taped (CM) and Hexagon Internal (HI) dental implants after the association with antimicrobial paste or addition of silver salts on the abutments. 72 titanium dental implants (Pross ® - Implant System, Dabi-Atlante, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil), 36 with internal hexagon connection type and 36 with cone-morse connection type, divided into groups as follows: group Antimicrobial Paste -12 implants HI / prosthetic connectors and 12 implants CM / prosthetic connectors, group Ion Silver-12 implants HI / prosthetic connectors and 12 implants CM / prosthetic connectors and Control Group-12 implants HI / prosthetic connectors and 12 implants CM / prosthetic connectors. The implants and prosthetic connectors have been removed from their packaging for applying of final torque (20N/cm). Previously, in one experimental group, a layer of antimicrobial paste was applied on the inner surface of implants and prosthetic connectors. The sets connector/implants were partially immersed in human saliva solution in test tubes and incubated in bacteriological oven at 37°C for 7 days. Subsequently, samples of the contents of internal prosthetic sets implantconnectors of the 3 groups were collected to detect and quantify micro-organisms, through the DNA Checkerboard Hybridization Technique. The morse taper implants had significantly lower bacterial count compared to internal hexagon implants in the control group (p <0.001), while for the group of Silver Ion and antimicrobial Paste, we observed an inverse behavior, higher counts of micro-organisms for Morse taper implants. Comparing the same connection implants, among the 03 groups examined, samples of implants Morse Taper Control groups, Antimicrobial Paste and Silver ions exhibited values of counts of micro-organisms in ascending order. The internal hexagon implants of the Control group showed higher counts of microorganisms followed by Antimicrobial Paste and Silver Ions groups, respectively. The 43 species analyzed in vitro infiltrated through the interface implant / abutment in both systems evaluated; For both the treatments (adding silver salts in the abutments walls and applying of the antimicrobial paste within the implants) there was decreased microbial leakage through the interface connection for the internal hexagon dental implants

O sistema de osseointegração desenvolvido por Branemark revolucionou o campo das reabilitações protéticas, incentivando os profissionais a indicar e realizar próteses do tipo overdentures. Estes dispositivos representam uma ótima alternativa para solucionar os problemas dos pacientes desdentados, insatisfeitos por diversos fatores. Várias são as associações entre os implantes e os sistemas de conexões empregados em overdentures. A literatura e a prática clínica fazem observar que na dependência do sistema de conexão empregado, há uma diferença no comportamento biomecânico, realizado por este conjunto: prótese/implante/conexão. Desta forma, é importante analisar como as tensões se distribuem sobre as estruturas que suportam estas cargas, uma vez que não existe o ligamento periodontal ao redor dos implantes que promove o mecanismo fisiológico, natural nos dentes. Assim, o objetivo desta investigação foi de avaliar, com o auxílio do método fotoelástico, o comportamento da distribuição das tensões em sobredentaduras (overdentures), suportadas por quatro implantes Ankylos®/ Dentsply®, utilizando-se o sistema protético de conexão de coroas cônicas Syncone®/ Dentsply®, onde se comparou duas formas de distribuição dos implantes, na primeira (CPM1) os implantes foram posicionados nas regiões de incisivos centrais e pré-molares e o segundo (CPM2) os implantes estavam posicionados nas regiões de caninos e pré-molares. Os modelos receberam cargas de forma crescente de 0,0 a 9,0 kg e, as tensões resultantes nas estruturas de suporte, foram analisadas fotoelasticamente. De acordo com a metodologia empregada nesta pesquisa, somos levados a concluir que: 1) Quando se associa o sistema Syncone® com overdenture ou sobredentadura, apoiada e retida sobre quatro implantes, sendo 2 localizados na região de incisivos centrais e 2 situados, diametralmente opostos, na região de segundos pré-molares na mandíbula - CPM1 - o rebordo residual é quem recebe a maior quantidade de tensões em relação aos implantes; 2) Quando se associa o sistema Syncone® com overdenture ou sobredentadura, apoiada e retida sobre 4 implantes, dispostos 2 a 2, bilateralmente e diametralmente opostos, nas regiões de caninos e pré-molares, na mandíbula (CPM2), as maiores tensões são transmitidas ao rebordo residual, sendo que os implantes suportes resultam mais preservados; 3) Comparativamente, o CPM2, aparenta ter transmitido menores tensões aos implantes que o CPM1; 4) Os implantes são preservados quanto à ocorrência de uma sobrecarga, durante a máxima intercuspidação dos arcos dentários, quando se emprega o sistema Syncone® associado à overdenture ou sobredentadura. / The osseo-integrated system develop by Branemark has revolutionized the prosthetic rehabilitation field, encourage the professionals to indicate and perform prostheses like overdentures. These devices represent an optimal alternative to solve the full dentures patient?s problems, dissatisfied for diverse factors. There are several associations between implants and prosthetic connectors employees for overdentures. The literature and the clinic practice may observe that according of the connection system employed, there is a difference into the biomechanical behavior, realized for this set: prostheses/implant/connection. From this forms, it is important to analyze how the tensions are distributing on the structures subject that support these loads, since it doesn\'t exist the periodontal ligament around the implants, what promotes the physiological mechanism of the natural teeth. Such, the purpose from this investigation was appraising, with the aid of the photoelastic method, the distribution way from the tensions at the overdentures, supported by four implants Ankylos®/ Dentsply, by using the prosthetic system of connection of conic crowns ? Syncone®/ Dentsply, were applied loads from 0,0 to 9,0kg, in crescent forms and, the tensions resulting on the support structures, have been analyzed by the photoelasthic method. Where two forms of distribution of the implantations were compared, first (CPM1) the implants were located at the regions of the central incisors and pre-molar, and as (CPM2) the implants were located at the regions of canines and pre-molar. The models had received loads of increasing form, from 0,0 to 9,0 kg and, the resultant tensions in the support structures, had been analyzed by the photoelastic method. In agreement with the methodology used in this research, we are led to conclude that: 1) When the overdenture is associated with Syncone® system, supported and retained by 4 implants, being 2 located in the region of central incisors and 2, diametrical opposing ones, in the region of the second pre-molar (CPM1) the residual alveolar ridge is who receives the biggest amount of tensions in relation to the implants; 2) When the overdenture is associated with Syncone® system, supported and retained by 4 implants, bilaterally and diametrical opposing ones, in the regions of canine and pre molar (CPM2), the biggest tensions were transmitted to the residual alveolar ridge, being the implants supports resulted more preserved; 3) Comparatively, the CPM2, seems to have transmitted less tensions to the implants than the CPM1; 4) The implants were preserved as the occurrence of an overload, during the maximum intercuspidação of the dental arcs, when the overdenture associated with Syncone® system has been used.

Skewed bridges have exhibited poorer performance during lateral earthquake loading when compared to non-skewed bridges (Apirakvorapinit et al. 2012; Elnashai et al. 2010). Results from small-scale laboratory tests by Rollins and Jessee (2012) and numerical modeling by Shamsabadi et al. (2006) suggest that skewed bridge abutments may provide only 35% of the non-skewed peak passive resistance when a bridge is skewed 45°. This reduction in peak passive force is of particular importance as 40% of the 600,000 bridges in the United States are skewed (Nichols 2012). Passive force-deflection results based on large-scale testing for this study largely confirm the significant reduction in peak passive resistance for abutments with longitudinal reinforced concrete wingwalls. Large-scale lateral load tests were performed on a non-skewed and 45° skewed abutment with densely compacted sand backfill. The 45° skewed abutment experienced a 54% reduction in peak passive resistance compared to the non-skewed abutment. The peak passive force for the 45° skewed abutment was estimated to occur at 5.0% of the backwall height compared to 2.2% of the backwall height for the non-skewed abutment. The 45° skewed abutment displayed evidence of rotation, primarily pushing the obtuse side of the abutment into the backfill, significantly more than the non-skewed abutment as it was loaded into the backfill. The structural and geotechnical response of the wingwalls was also monitored during large-scale testing. The wingwall on the obtuse side of the 45° skewed abutment experienced nearly 6 times the amount of horizontal soil pressure and 7 times the amount of bending moment compared to the non-skewed abutment. Pressure and bending moment distributions are provided along the height of the wingwall and indicate that the maximum moment occurs approximately 20 in (50.8 cm) below the top of the wingwall. A comparison of passive force per unit width suggests that MSE wall abutments provide 60% more passive resistance per unit width compared to reinforced concrete wingwall and unconfined abutment geometries at zero skew. These findings suggest that changes should be made to current codes and practices to properly account for skew angle in bridge design.

Bridge abutments are designed to withstand lateral pressures from thermal expansion and seismic forces. Current design curves have been seen to dangerously over- and under-estimate the peak passive resistance and corresponding deflection of abutment backfills. Similar studies on passive pressure have shown that passive resistance changes with different types of constructed backfills. The effects of changing the length to width ratio, or including MSE wingwalls determine passive force-deflection relationships. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the wall heights and of the MSE support on passive pressure and backfill failure, and to compare the field results with various predictive methods. To compare the effects of backfill geometries, three large-scale tests with dense compact sand were performed with abutment backfill heights of 3 ft (0.91 m), 5.5 ft (1.68 m), and 5.5 ft (1.68 m) confined with MSE wingwalls. Using an existing pile cap 11 ft (3.35 m) wide and 5.5 ft (1.68 m) high, width to height ratios for the abutment backfills were 3.7 for the 3ft test, and 2.0 for the 5.5ft and MSE tests. The failure surface for the unconfined backfills exhibited a 3D geometry with failure surfaces extending beyond the edge of the cap, increasing the "effective width", and producing a failure "bulb". In contrast, the constraint provided by the MSE wingwalls produced a more 2D failure geometry. The "effective width" of the failure surface increased as the width to height ratio decreased. In terms of total passive force, the unconfined 5.5ft wall provided about 6% more resistance than the 5.5ft MSE wall. However, in terms of passive force/width the MSE wall provided about 70% more resistance than the unconfined wall, which is more consistent with a plane strain, or 2D, failure geometry. In comparison with predicted forces, the MSE curve never seemed to fit, while the 3ft and 5.5ft curves were better represented with different methods. Even with optimizing between both the unconfined curves, the predicted Log Spiral peak passive forces were most accurate, within 12% of the measured peak resistances. The components of passive force between the unconfined tests suggest the passive force is influenced more by frictional resistance and less by the cohesion as the height of the backwall increases.

Low-strength cellular concrete consists of a cement slurry that is aerated prior to placement. It remains a largely untested material with properties somewhere between those of soil, geofoam, and typical controlled low-strength material (CLSM). The benefits of using this material include its low density, ease of placement, and ability to self-compact. Although the basic laboratory properties of this material have been investigated, little information exists about the performance of this material in the field, much less the passive resistance behavior of this material in the field.In order to evaluate the use of cellular concrete as a backfill material behind bridge abutments, two large-scale tests were conducted. These tests sought to better understand the passive resistance, the movement required to reach this resistance, the failure mechanism, and skew effects for a cellular concrete backfill. The tests used a pile cap with a backwall face 5.5 ft (1.68 m) tall and 11 ft (3.35 m) wide. The backfill area had walls on either side running parallel to the sides of the pile cap to allow the material to fail in a 2D fashion. The cellular concrete backfill for the 30° skew test had an average wet density of 29.6 pcf (474 kg/m3) and a compressive strength of 57.6 psi (397 kPa). The backfill for the 0° skew test had an average wet density of 28.6 pcf (458 kg/m3) and a compressive strength of 50.9 psi (351 kPa). The pile cap was displaced into the backfill area until failure occurred. A total of two tests were conducted, one with a 30° skew wedge attached to the pile cap and one with no skew wedge attached.It was observed that the cellular concrete backfill mainly compressed under loading with no visible failure at the surface. The passive-force curves showed the material reaching an initial peak resistance after movement equal to 1.7-2.6% of the backwall height and then remaining near this strength or increasing in strength with any further deflection. No skew effects were observed; any difference between the two tests is most likely due to the difference in concrete placement and testing.

To investigate the passive force-displacement relationships provided by a transitional zoned backfill consisting of cement treated aggregate (CTA) and compacted gravel, a series of full-scale lateral abutment load tests were performed. The transitional zoned backfill was designed to minimize differential settlement adjacent to bridge abutments for the California High Speed Rail project. Tests were performed with a 2-D or plane strain backfill geometry to simulate a wide abutment. To investigate the effect of skew angle on the passive force, lateral abutment load tests were also performed with a simulated abutment with skew angles of 30º and 45º. The peak passive force developed was about 2.5 times higher than that predicted with the California HSR design method for granular backfill material with a comparable backwall height and width. The displacement required to develop the peak passive force decreased with skew angle and was somewhat less than for conventional granular backfills. Peak passive force developed with displacements of 3 to 1.8% of the wall height, H in comparison to 3 to 5% of H for conventional granular backfills.The skew angle had less effect on the peak passive force for the transitional backfill than for conventional granular backfills. For example, the passive force reduction factor, Rskew, was only 0.83 and 0.51 for the 30º and 45º skew abutments in comparison to 0.51 and 0.37 for conventional granular backfills. Field measurements suggest that the CTA backfill largely moves with the abutment and does not experience significant heave while shear failure and heaving largely occurs in the granular backfill behind the CTA backfill zone.
