Objective:
To access the effects of post length on horizontal load of cast post and core crown.
Methods:
120 simulated roots made of polymethylmethacrylate were divided into 15 groups according to different mechanical fulcrum and length of post, made the wax pattern of post-core, casted and cemented the post-core. After saline soak, loaded these specimens on the Instron-4302 by the speed of 1 mm/min and recorded the maximum force of load.
Results:
The means of fracture resistance Wp11 of 7.0 mm, 7.5 mm, 8.0 mm, 8.5 mm, 9.0 mm were (94.24 +/- 12.47) N, (129.76 +/- 19.89) N, (195.98 +/- 1 2.46) N, (208.88 +/- 24.37) N, (225.67 +/- 53.07) N and the means of dangerous stress (sigma degrees 11 were 65.12 N, 93.07 N, 145.84 N, 161.58 N, 181.49 N; the means of fair stress [sigma11] were 39.41 MPa, 56.34 MPa, 88.34 MPa, 97.86 MPa, 109.94 MPa. It showed that the horizontal load of post-core crown system increased gradually with the increasing of the post length. It appeared the linear regression between the length of the post and fracture resistance and physiologic load.
Conclusion:
The increasing of the post length can increase the horizontal load of post-core crown system. During the pulp preparation of post-core system, the post length should be added as much as possible.

Posttensioned Masonry Walls
Post-tensioned masonry walls use high-strength steel rods or flexible tendons to enhance the strength and efficiency of masonry structures. These elements are securely anchored to the foundation and extend vertically either within the cores of the masonry units or between the masonry wythes. The construction process involves building the wall with these tensioning elements in place and allowing the mortar to fully cure.
Following the curing process, the tensioning begins. Steel rods are...
