the major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social and cultural capital and efl students’ critical thinking skills. this study takes this relationship in to account to see if people with different sociocultural status are different regarding their critical thinking skills. to this end, 160 university students majoring in english language and literature, english trans...

Effect of Parameters on Soil-Structure Interaction of a Buried Corrugated Steel Arch Bridge

Based on an actual corrugated steel plate arch bridge, considering soil-structure interaction, by using the finite element program of ANSYS, a 2-D finite element model was set up to analyze the soil pressure and structural deformation under different load conditions in detail. Since this type of structure relies on the soil-structure interaction to share the load, as the structural parameters h...

Critical Specimen Sizes for Tensile-Shear Testing of Steel Sheets

Tensile-shear testing results are influenced not only by the quality of spot welds, but also by the dimensions of testing specimens. Experimental and numerical studies have been conducted on determining critical sizes for tensileshear testing of resistance spot welded specimens. Statistical methods have been employed, from planning stages to the analysis of results, for the purposes of getting ...
