Isometric hip and groin strength in elite football players: preliminary investigations into the validity and reliability of testing, comparison to a normal population and in-season strength changes.
Hip and groin injuries account for 2-5% of all sporting injuries worldwide. Within elite football they account for 12-16% of all injuries in a season, making them the second most prevalent injury for the sport. Isometric measurement of hip and groin strength is common practice in football and is …

Collapse mechanisms of small-scale unreinforced masonry vaults
… three-dimensional behavior of barrel vaults and groin vaults is not as well understood. This thesis aims to address this problem by performing scale model testing of barrel and groin vaults as a complement to analytical solutions. The behavior of the model vaults are observed in four cases: (1) …
