Exoskeleton Device and Method of Impeding Relative Movement in the Exoskeleton Device

An exoskeleton device includes a first brace coupled to a first portion of a wearer of the exoskeleton device and a second brace coupled to a second portion of the wearer. A first joint connects the first and second braces and allows relative movement between the first and second braces. A first brake is controllable between an unactuated state and a plurality of actuated states, and the first brake impedes relative movement between the first and second braces at the first joint while the first brake is in one of the plurality of actuated states. A manual actuator is selectively used by the wearer during relative movement between the first and second braces. Use of the actuator causes the first brake to enter one of the plurality of actuated states such that relative movement between the first and second braces is impeded at the first joint.

Prestressed bailey beam for reinforcement and construction method therefor

A Bailey beam for reinforcement is composed of Bailey panels, stiffening rods, bolts, anchor bolts, a prestressing tendon and anchorages. The components of the Bailey beam are all prefabricated in a factory, and are assembled and hoisted on site. The prestressing tendon is arranged in a lower chord of the Bailey beam, and is anchored to the stiffening rods at both ends. The Bailey beam slides towards both ends during prestress tensioning. In this case, the Bailey beam is lifted as a whole, and the prestressing force is applied to a lower edge of the Bailey beam, resulting in an inverted arch of structure, closing up of cracks and a decrease in downward deflection. After the completion of the prestress tensioning, sealing is performed by fixing fillers, a sealing steel plate and injecting solidifiable materials.
