1. Objective:To study the relationship between the end-plate calcification and cervical intervertebral disc degeneration and vertebral osteophyte formation.

2. In calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of the end-plate connection, take into account the effect of stiffer of end-plate.

3. Bolted end-plate connection is one of the main connection for the steel structures, which is with high resistance ability, large stiffness, and convenient for construction.

4. Objective: Low-field MRI findings and clinical significance of end-plate osteochondritis in disc degeneration.

5. In compression zone bolt force of end-plate connections distribut triangularly, when designing calculating the force model can be referred .

6. Intercalating the rib stiffeners of web, end-plate and reinforcement plate will greatly enhance carrying capacity of connections and initial connection stiffness.

7. The results show that many end-plate connections used in engineering structures are actually semirigid connections and that joint rotation occurs when loads are applied.

8. Research on extended end-plate connection with end-plate stiffer under cyclic load by test, discuss the effect of stiffer on the capability of the connection.

9. Stiffening rib of web can enhance limit temperature of end-plate connections.

10. Conclusion. Disc cellularity declines as age advances and is reduced in the vicinity of major tears. Extensive end-plate abnormalities reduce cellularity by impeding disc nutrition.

11. The design expressions to calculate the tension of the bolts and the thickness of the end-plate are given. The requirements for design of the connection welds and calculation of the local ...

12. The behaviour of H-section steel beams under fire is influenced by end-plate connection and axial restraint.

13. Observation was carried out of changes in the forms of the motor end-plate and myofibrous ultrastructure of gastrocnemius muscle and in the contents of MDA in sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius muscle.

14. This paper is concerned with 3D simulation finite element method of composite flush end-plate joint in steel frame beam-column, while the finite-element analysis is compared to the test results.

15. Introduction: generalizing the constitution, classification, feature and actuality about end-plate.

16. Used the maximum strain-energy theory and strength limit analytic method to check the important part such as sleeve, end-plate, etc.

17. In order to study the neutral axis location of high strength bolts in extended end-plate connections, a series of joint tests from portal frame and theoretical analysis were executed.

18. Objective:To study the effect of asymmetrical stress on the growth of spinal end-plate.

19. The cyclic loading tests on the beam-to-column composite joints with flush end-plate connection are carried out.

20. Results In less severely degenerative cervical discs, the morphology of the cartilage end-plate showed nearly normal construction, and the tidemark was clear.

21. Some tears were associated with low cellularity close to the tear but not elsewhere, whereas extensive end-plate separations showed global reductions in cellularity.

22. Multistory steel frames are more and more widely used in our country and bolted end-plate connections are often adopted.
