Paying Homage to the Holocaust Female Victims in "The Zone of Interest"
Authors: Díaz Bild Aída
Published: July 2024

Martin Amis returns to the subject of the Holocaust after Time’s Arrow (1991) with The Zone of Interest, a realistic novel set in Auschwitz in the months from August 1942 to April 1943. Amis decides to deal again with the atrocities committed by the Nazis, because he believes that the impact of the Holocaust will change with the physical disappearance of the survivors. In this article we are going to focus on two of the female victims created by Amis: a Jewish prisoner who confronts her oppressors and a Jewish doctor morally destroyed by her collaboration with the Nazis, both of whom are presented through the perpetrator’s gaze. In order to demonstrate how Amis succeeds in giving the reader a truthful picture of the humiliations the Nazis inflicted on their victims, we will use the witnesses’ testimonies and the studies on the Holocaust relevant to our analysis, with special attention to those who offer a gender perspective.
“Time Travel Is Real”
Authors: Bagüés Bautista Marta
Published: July 2024

Ali Smith’s Autumn (2016), the first instalment of her Seasonal Quartet, has been analysed as a Brexit novel or “Brexlit” (Pittel 58), when it actually represents a much wider reality. Although some academics highlight the unclassifiable nature of the novel, I believe that, despite its undeniable political undertones and thematic concerns when depicting our transmodern society, both its form and its content are aligned with the features of metamodernism that authors like Nick Bentley and Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker define in their research (2017, 2010). While most critical studies have been concerned with the thematic aspects of the novel as the first post-Brexit novel, my aim is to offer an analysis of all the different aspects that make Autumn an accurate example of the metamodernist novel fluctuating between modern features like the use of free indirect discourse and stream of consciousness and postmodern features like multiple narratives and fragmentation. In its oscillation between the modern and the postmodern, Autumn finds a balance through its main characters, Daniel Gluck and Elisabeth Demand, who embody these two structures of feeling. Different as they might be, the reader, alongside these two characters themselves, will find that they are more alike than they expected, and thus their shared ideas and concerns turn into the main themes of the novel: the cyclical nature of time and history, the unheimlich and the nature of art.
Evaluation of suburethral transobturator sling procedure on urinary incontinence and quality-of-life
Authors: Coelho Maria L. , Pinho António de , Castro Fabiana , Freixo Marília , Melo Anabela , Torres Sílvia
Published: July 2024

Background: Urinary incontinence has an estimated incidence of 25-50% in the adult female population. It has a profound physical and psychosocial impact, compromising women’s quality-of-life (QoL). The suburethral sling is currently considered the surgical treatment of choice for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of urinary incontinence on women’s QoL before and after transobturator suburethral sling surgery, as well as the effectiveness of surgical treatment.
Methods: A prospective longitudinal, observational and analytical study was performed between June and December 2021. The study population included 64 women with urinary incontinence, to whom the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) was applied, before and after surgery.
Results: Of the 64 women included in the study, 59.4% (n=38) had SUI and 40.6% (n=26) had mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). There was an improvement in the global KHQ score in 96.9% (n=62) of subjects, with a statistically and clinically significant impact on QoL (p<0.001). Patients with MUI had higher preoperative KHQ global scores, reflecting a more substantial impact on their QoL. Surprisingly, postoperative improvement in QoL was equally significant, both clinically and statistically (p<0.001), with no differences when comparing to isolated sui patients (p>0.05).
Conclusions: QoL assessment questionnaires help to quantify individual impact of urinary incontinence and identify which patients benefited most from treatment. This study not only enhances our understanding of the true impact of urinary incontinence on QoL, but also emphasizes the effectiveness and importance of this minimally invasive surgery in improving the QoL of patients with SUI as well as MUI.
Safety and efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose in management of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant and peripartum women
Authors: Bhudhrani Divyang S. , Godria Payal
Published: July 2024

Background: Anemia during pregnancy, often attributed to iron deficiency, poses substantial risks to both maternal and fetal health. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in managing anemia among pregnant women.
Methods: The study encompasses women who received FCM treatment for anemia during pregnancy between October 2023 and March 2024 at SSG hospital, Vadodara. Key outcomes evaluated include maternal safety and pregnancy outcomes. Prospective observational study; Treatment effectiveness was assessed by repeat hemoglobin (Hb) measurements and patient report of well-being in the postpartum period. Safety was assessed by analysis of adverse drug reactions and fetal heart rate monitoring during the infusion.
Results: A total of 50 patients were included. The intravenous administration of FCM notably raised hemoglobin levels in all pregnant female participants compared to initial levels. Monitoring of fetal heart rate showed no adverse effects attributable to the medication. No severe side effects were observed.
Conclusions: This prospective observational study suggests that FCM represents a safe and effective therapeutic option for managing anemia during pregnancy. Despite study limitations, the findings underscore the potential of FCM in addressing this prevalent concern, advocating for its consideration in clinical practice.
Postdated pregnancy: a risk factor for adverse maternal and perinatal outcome
Authors: Gupta Shweta , Kumari Ruby , Vijaya  , Bharti Aastha
Published: July 2024

Background: The study's objective is to contrast maternal and perinatal outcomes in postdated and term pregnancies in order to better understand the related risks and difficulties.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ANMMCH, Gaya, between June 2019 and May 2023. The study comprised 474 women, separated into two groups: term (37-40 weeks) and postdated (>40 weeks). Data were gathered from medical records, with an emphasis on maternal and fetal problems. The statistical analysis used Student's t-tests and Chi-square.
Results: The present study involving 474 pregnant women (postdated-186, term-288) revealed that postdated pregnancies had greater risks of maternal problems, such as postpartum hemorrhage (34 vs. 18 instances, p=0.0001), cervical tears (6 vs. 5 cases, p=0.354), as well as postpartum infections (8vs.11 case, p=0.8137). Furthermore, perineal injuries occurred more frequently in postdated pregnancies (15 vs. 7 incidence, p=0.0064). Fetal problems were also more common, with shoulder dystocia (4 vs. 5 case, p = 0.7426) and meconium aspiration (20 vs. 16 instances, p = 0.0497). The rate of fetal hypoxia was considerably higher in postdated pregnancies (8 vs. 6 instance, p=0.1756). A higher proportion of term pregnancies had no issues (250 vs. 128 instances, p=0.00001), indicating that term births are relatively safe.
Conclusions: The study found that postdated pregnancies are associated with greater maternal and fetal problems, demanding close monitoring and timely interventions.
The study of diagnostic value of pap smear comparing with visual inspection of cervix after acetic acid application in detecting premalignant lesions of cervix
Authors: Bedekar Shubhangi A. , Karmarkar Girish B. , Diwadkar Pranali
Published: July 2024

Background: Objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of VIA and pap smear for screening of premalignant lesions of cervix and to compare the performance of VIA used alone and combined with pap smear for screening of premalignant lesions of cervix.
Methods: VIA and Pap smear were performed in 260 patients attending routine gynaecology OPD. Positive cases of either or both screening tests were subjected to colposcopy and biopsy if indicated. The reports of histopathology were correlated with the pap smear and VIA findings and thereby sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of each of the screening methods were calculated and results were analysed.
Results: 260 patients were screened for premalignant lesions of cervix by VIA and pap smear both, 37 of 260 patients, (14.2%) were VIA positive, 30 of 260 patients (11.5%) were pap smear positive, 20 of 260 patients (7.69%) were positive for VIA as well as pap smear, 25 of 260 patients (9.6%) were confirmed of premalignant lesions on histopathology, 24 patients were diagnosed CIN and one patient was diagnosed with CIS.
Conclusions: VIA has lower sensitivity and specificity compared to Pap smear but the results are comparable. Both the tests are fairly accurate. A combination of VIA and Pap smear increased the sensitivity and specificity to 100%.
Successful outcome in a ruptured heterotopic pregnancy
Authors: Jain Amrita , Kurkal Nidhi , Aggarwal Vaishali
Published: July 2024

A heterotopic pregnancy is a simultaneous intrauterine pregnancy and an ectopic pregnancy. It is a rare condition; however, the increasing use of artificial reproductive techniques is increasing the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy. Most of the patients with heterotopic pregnancy have a previous history of infertility or tubal diseases. Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy should not be missed out as quite often it is a precious pregnancy and a ruptured ectopic can change the outcome of intrauterine pregnancy as well. A 30-year-old female primigravida with 3 months of gestational age, (in vitro fertilization (IVF) conception) presented to casualty with complaints of bleeding per vaginum since morning. Patient was of gestational age 9 weeks 2 days by a 6 weeks scan at the time of presentation. A Provisional diagnosis of threatened abortion was made, 36 hours later, patient started complaining of acute pain in abdomen. In view of examination findings and ultrasound scan, decision was taken to perform emergency laparotomy. Intra-op findings were consistent with a right ruptured ectopic pregnancy which was missed on previous scans. Histopathology report confirmed findings of right ectopic pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancy can occur even if the earlier scans are unable to detect the ectopic pregnancy. Patient presenting with symptoms of pain in abdomen and bleeding per vaginum should not be neglected especially in cases of IVF conception. Clinicians should keep in consideration for possibility of heterotopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis and prompt management can increase the survival of intrauterine pregnancy and decrease maternal morbidity and mortality.

Published: July 2024

Background: Due to the inaccuracy of the ankle-brachial index, especially in diabetic patients, different alternative strategies have been considered to evaluate patients with peripheral arterial disease, such as the measurement of plantar acceleration time with Doppler ultrasound. The use of plantar acceleration time was described, which consists of measuring the morphology of the wave produced by the time elapsed from the beginning of systole until reaching the maximum systolic peak, as represented on Doppler ultrasound. A morphological change in the wave could indicate some interaction due to the presence of resistance to flow and arterial ductility.
Methods: Sixty-five inframalleolar ultrasound studies were performed in patients with peripheral arterial disease. The acceleration time was calculated, and statistical analysis was conducted using linear regression and analysis of variance. The patients were correlated with the ankle-brachial index and among the studied inframalleolar arteries.
Results: Correlations were calculated with a non-parametric method: Spearman's correlation coefficient and it was identified that the plantar acceleration time was not significantly correlated with the ankle-brachial index. Probably due to the presence of non-compressible ankle-brachial indices, a significant correlation was found between the inframalleolar arteries studied.
Conclusions: The plantar acceleration time is a necessary complementary study for evaluating patients with peripheral arterial disease. It is essential to perform more inframalleolar ultrasound studies in patients for whom the ankle-brachial index is compressible and assessable, to establish a significant correlation within our population.

Authors: Siddique Tasnim B. , Hossain M. A. , Haque M. R. , Mollah M. S. R. , Islam M. S.
Published: July 2024

Background: Cholelithiasis is one of the most common surgical diseases worldwide. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for cholelithiasis, and has become the most common performed gastro intestinal operation. The prevalence is higher in women (7.7%) than in men (3.3%). We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of pre-routine magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) before performing scheduled Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Dhaka Central International Medical College, and selected single private Hospital from Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2021 to January 2023. In our study, we included 90 female patients presented with acute or chronic calculus cholecystitis. All patients were diagnosed with multiple gall stones diseases on USG abdomen after initial clinical evaluation were included in this study.
Result: In our study, we found the mean age was 34.97±8.48 years. Among 90 patients USG showed multiple stones in 85(94.44%) patients whereas, MRCP showed stones only in 24 (26.67%) patients. Among patients with normal CBD, MRCP found 25.33 % and USG found 93.33% with stones. There were 3 patients with more than 5 mg/dl. bilirubin who was diagnosed with stones in both findings. Among the patients with 148-220 ALP levels, both USG and MRCP found 90.48% of patients with stones. We found 1 true negative case and 20 true positive cases of multiple stones (with a p value of 0.017).
Conclusion: We found that MRCP helps increase the safety of perioperative management in some cases. Preoperative ultrasonography has a low diagnostic accuracy rate when it comes to patients who also have gallstones and CBD stones. So, individuals with gallstones are advised to undergo a normal preoperative MRCP examination.
Intra-abdominal pressure: a predictor of severity in acute pancreatitis
Authors: Vijayakumar Jayapalanivel , Janakiraman Saravanan , Sathyanesan Jeswanth
Published: July 2024

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a multisystem disease which has an unpredictable course. The major consequence of severe acute pancreatitis is usually intra-abdominal hypertension. So, abdominal compartment syndrome occurs with serve increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) with organ failure. If conservative measures fail, some early interventional procedures have to be performed to reduce mortality in those patients.
Methods: The ethics committee clearance was obtained. The study included 50 patients who were admitted in our institution with acute pancreatitis (diagnosed based on clinical, radiological, biochemical parameters) from December 2022 to August 2023. Intravesical route was used to measure IAP and it was performed by bladder catheterization using a Foley's catheter which was then connected with a three-way stopcock, which further attached with a water manometer and on that same day APACHE scores was calculated, compared and analyzed.
Results: IAP was >25 cm H2O in 48% of patients and 28% of patients developed MODS and they did not survive. The mean IAP among the survivors was 13.56 cm H2O and in non-survivors it was 24.94 cm H2O. Correlation studies between IAP & the clinical severity of acute pancreatitis was significant (p<0.05).
Conclusions: IAP seems to be a simple, reliable and single mortality predictor and helps to assess organ failure in acute pancreatitis and it also well correlates with other pancreatic prognostic scores. It also serves as a selective prognostic marker in acute pancreatitis and found to have a direct correlation between IAP and clinical severity of acute pancreatitis.
Superior vena cava syndrome: presentation of 7 cases and literature review

Published: July 2024

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is the result of obstruction of venous flow through the SVC. Mortality due to SVCS is rare (0.3%); however, the median survival in patients with SVCS secondary to malignancy is 6 months. Extrinsic occlusion due to malignancy is the most common cause; however, intraluminal thrombosis secondary to central venous catheters and pacemaker wires represents 30% of cases. The SVC is the main drainage pathway for the head, neck, and upper torso region, so SVCS is characterized by facial and neck edema, dyspnea, and distension of the neck and chest veins. Symptoms vary depending on the severity, location, and speed of onset of the obstruction and the establishment of collateral veins. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and imaging studies such as chest angiotomography and digital subtraction venography (gold standard). Regarding treatment, radiation therapy and chemotherapy were considered first-line; however, nowadays endovascular therapy (ET) (angioplasty, stent placement, and catheter-directed thrombus extraction) has demonstrated higher success rates and lower recurrence rates. Surgical diversion is reserved for cases of extensive venous thrombosis or occlusion not amenable to ET. We conducted a literature review and described 7 cases of SVCS treated with successful ET and their main complications at the national cancer institute of Mexico. SVCS is a condition with a diagnostic challenge. Currently, the use of endovascular treatment through angioplasty and stent placement leads to immediate improvement in patients, thus establishing it as first-line treatment.

A mesodiverticular band is a rare embryological remnant of arterial supply to the Meckel's diverticulum in utero. A persistent mesodiverticular band can cause bowel compression leading to obstruction. Internal herniation through a mesodiverticular band is very rare. We report a case of an 8yr old boy who presented with intestinal obstruction secondary to a mesodiverticular band and internal herniation. Internal herniation with a mesodiverticular band is a rare complication of Meckel’s diverticulum.

Orofacial pain is the most important factor that must be fully controlled in dental practice; Poor pain management at the first level of care can have consequences for the patient such as worry, discomfort, fatigue, lack of appetite and alterations in their systemic health. It is therefore essential to provide a practical and easily accessible therapy in the dental office. as is pharmacotherapy. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics are the drugs mostly used to control postoperative pain after dental treatments, and the use of analgesics for prolonged periods or a combination of these to achieve success in controlling dental pain is uncommon.

Published: July 2024

Cardiovascular diseases are known to be the leading cause of death annually worldwide with an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. Cardiovascular diseases are common in the age group 40-59 years, who coincidentally, are becoming increasingly active users of social media platforms and help to disseminate information amongst their peers. The study aimed to identify whether the information circulating on social media regarding cardiovascular diseases is pertinent and trust-worthy.

A web-based study was conducted with the formulation of an elaborate questionnaire. The data was analyzed in Microsoft Excel Sheet which was then used for the analysis of the data obtained.

The study identified 457 relevant posts in total of which 386 (84.46%) were in the form of posts and 71 (15.53%) composed of video content.

Our analysis revealed that only 204 (44.63%) of the total relevant posts featured descriptions of cardiac arrest, while the remaining 253 (55.36%) did not. The majority of the posts, 380 in total, lacked information regarding the prevalence of cardiac arrest, and 306 posts had no information about the etiology of cardiac arrest. It was discovered that 61.17% and 81.61% of the posts were useful and offered information regarding heart attack prevention and treatment, respectively. Out of 457 relevant entries, 400 did not possess any information about the mortality connected to an adverse event of cardiac origin.

Geopolitics as an Ideology
Authors: Obolonsky A.V.
Published: July 2024

The article presents arguments in favor of interpreting geopolitics as one of the widespread types of “false consciousness,” i.e., ideology. The author shows that the revival of the concept of geopolitics, as well as the ideas about the world of politics associated with this concept, was associated with the actualization of the neo-imperial view of the world. The basis of these ideologized ideas about politics as an arena for the implementation of the “intraspecific” struggle of states is a social Darwinist view of the world, according to which all peoples are enemies, conflict between states is the main form of relations between them according to the principle of a “zero-sum game”, and all unions, alliances and blocs are just tactical ploys that do not cancel the immanent common hostile essence. In other words, the ideology of geopolitics is based on the concept of “looking at neighbors through a gun sight.” The article is of a scientific and analytical nature and does not imply a direct connection with current policy issues.
Evil as a Category of Modern Political Thinking
Authors: Aronson O.V.
Published: July 2024

The article attempts to analyze the understanding of evil both in contemporary political discourse and in everyday word usage. For this purpose, it is proposed to revisit the problem of theodicy, since evil is almost always used in a religious sense. The article distinguishes between the process of secularization, as a result of which the omnipotence of God becomes the property and instrument of political power, and the deconstruction of Christianity, which allows us to move from political theology to secular theodicy, where our ability to think and recognize evil in the world, rather than the problem of God's justification, comes to the fore. The author argues that this is impossible within the framework of political theology, where political evil always conceals and justifies itself. This is the fate of all theodicies, which Kant calls “doctrinal,” in which reason, making a claim against god (or transcendence) is always able to justify it. Kant considers the Book of Job to be the only “authentic” theodicy in which it is suffering itself, or Job's conscience, immanent to the world, that sues god. This is an important step in the direction of secular theodicy, but it is also limited in its desire to be subsumed by deity or authority. The paper suggests that we should pay attention to Job's wife's call to her husband to “curse the Lord and die.” These words become the origin of an alternative theodicy – a theodicy of action, a theodicy of the victim refusing to speak to god. The author finds the beginnings of such a theodicy in Jules Michelet's historical analysis of the religious massacres of witches, where the latter appear as victims, as well as in Jean Amery's analysis of torture and his idea of the rehabilitation of the ressentiment. The line of rebellion leading from the words of Job's wife to the unprecedented forms of violence of power provoked by the fear of this rebellion leads to the understanding of evil not as religious (opposing good), but as a political phenomenon of the modern world, manifested in excessive violence against the powerless victim.
MOSES WEINSTEIN – THE TRAGEDY AND FATE OF RECTOR OF ODESA STATE UNIVERSITY
Authors: Levchenko V. V.
Published: July 2024

In the article, based on the study of unpublished archival documents, as well as materials of periodicals, the biography of the economist, associate professor, first vice-rector and one of the rectors of Odesa State University (OSU) M. Weinstein is reproduced for the first time. Dedicating the article to the 120th anniversary of the birth of the scientist and administrator, his life path is traced in as much detail as possible. The novelty of the study consists in the clarification of biographical information: place of birth, social origin, behavior patterns in management positions at the State University, analysis of the motivation of actions, scientific activity, etc.
In 1937, having fallen into the millstones of the “Great Terror”, he was forced to secretly leave Odesa. The overview of the events was made that allowed us to provide the motives for the repression against the heads of state universities, in particular, OSU. At the same time, the factors that led to the deployment of massive repressive campaigns against university rectors simultaneously influenced the processes of forming the socialist subjectivity of Soviet realities. In this regard, a typical conflict situation was reconstructed, which determined the extreme contradiction of the position of conscientious managers from among the early Soviet generation in the mid‑1930s. It was observed that when propaganda promoted labor collectives as the true creators of a new socialist civilization, M. Weinstein had to deviate from the imperative principle of the collectivist worldview. In the true interests of the case, he was forced to rely on the professional core of university specialists, opposing himself to the majority of teachers, graduate students and students, but such a position was not welcomed by the proletariat and the state.

Authors: Proschalygin Roman A. ,   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law of the Novosibirsk Military
Published: July 2024

As part of the study, a gap was identified in the legal regulation of relations regarding the use of subsoil, in terms of the lack of clear legislative recognition of the concept of subsoil use waste. Considering this circumstance, in practice, problems arise related to the impossibility of distinguishing subsoil use waste from related legal structures, such as production and consumption waste, secondary resources, which entails unjustified competition of regulatory legal acts. Based on the analysis of legal regulations, judicial practice and doctrinal sources, system-forming legal features were identified, formulated, justified, and the author’s definition of subsoil waste was given. As a result of the study, specific proposals and recommendations were formulated for introducing amendments to the norms of the current legislation.

The Importance of V.D. Sorokin’s Scientific Heritage for the Development of the Theory of Administrative Procedure Law as an Independent Branch of Russian Law
Authors: Kaplunov Andrey I. ,   Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Russian Federation, Professor of the Department of Administrative Law
Published: July 2024

Based on the analysis of the opinions existing among administrative scientists about the existence of administrativeprocedural law as a separate branch of law, the reasons preventing such recognition are formulated in the article. Consideration of these reasons through the prism of V.D. Sorokin’s scientific heritage, in particular, the main properties of the process developed by him as a legal category and a mechanism of legal regulation operating at the macro level (at the level of branches of law), allowed the author of this article to conclude that these reasons are not an obstacle to the recognition of administrative procedural law as an independent branch of Russian law.

Repositori perguruan tinggi di Indonesia masih dalam tahap adopsi awal sebab kurangnya kebijakan lembaga terkait keterbukaan akses, partisipasi akademisi, dan kontrol kualitas. Peran OAIR sebagai direktori yang dapat memudahkan temu kembali informasi, menghidupkan komunikasi ilmiah, dan menjadi pembanding setiap perguruan tinggi, menjadikan penelitian ini penting. Digunakan metode kualitatif studi kasus dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Digunakan model analisis data Miles dan Huberman mencakup tahapan reduksi, penyajian, penyimpulan sementara dan verifikasi, serta penarikan kesimpulan akhir. Kolaborasi internal dibangun melalui rapat terkait pengembangan repositori, serta penyempurnaan jaringan antar divisi. Kolaborasi eksternal perpustakaan dibangun melalui kerja sama dengan fakultas, pimpinan tertinggi dan sivitas akademika untuk mengintegrasikan seluruh karya ilmiah UPI. Pada proses implementasi diperlukan strategi untuk memperkaya konten repositori melalui unggah mandiri, koordinasi dengan fakultas, dan digitasi. Sedangkan strategi untuk mendorong partisipasi dilakukan melalui pendidikan pengguna dan kebijakan mandat. Untuk memastikan kualitas konten digital diperlukan verifikasi, validasi, dan perlindungan hak cipta. Pemanfaatan teknologi diterapkan dengan mengoptimalkan fungsi user interface, usage statistic dan interoperability system. Dalam implementasi OAIR perlu adanya keterlibatan dari berbagai pihak serta langkah yang tepat dalam menghimpun muatan lokal, mendorong partisipasi, kontrol kualitas, serta penerapan fungsi teknologi.

Clamped Part Influence on Load- Deformation Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls under Cyclic Loading
Authors: Schuler Harald
Published: July 2024

Load-deformation behavior is decisive for the effectiveness of stiffening walls under earthquake loads and RC shear walls are an important tool to resist these loads. However, deformations in these walls’ clamping zones are usually not considered; their benefits and risks are neglected. Carrying out large-scale wall tests and using an optical measurement system for displacements show that more attention should be paid to the clamping zone. In particular, clamped wall part bending deformations, as well as sliding shear deformations, should also be considered. A separation of displacement components clearly shows that stiffening walls’ clamping zones have a positive influence on load-deformation behavior due to flexure. At the same time, the clamping zone, especially for squat walls, carries the risk of sliding shear failure, which would lead to a premature loss of horizontal stability.
