DEM Analysis of Backfilled Walls Subjected to Active Translation Mode

Soil Arching Behind Retaining Walls under Active Translation Mode: Review and New Insights

Granular materials have a tendency to exhibit an arching effect by which the load is transferred from yielding parts to adjacent stationary parts. Retaining walls are among those structures that the soil arching plays an important role in the distribution of earth pressures. This paper briefly reviews the development of soil arching theory and its application to different geotechnical projects....

evaluation of coupled- shear walls subjected to near-field earthquakes

coupled -shear walls are one of lateral load resisting systems in high and medium rise reinforced concrete buildings. the lateral structural response is exactly dependents on the shear walls behavior; therefore these elements must response well whenundergodifferent load conditions. the structures located in near-source region behave differently compared to those in near-source sites when subjec...

response of coupled-precast shear walls subjected to cyclic loads

large panel precast structures are analyzed based on the connection rigidity. however, the connections undergo nonlinear and inelastic response, when subjected to seismic loads. thus, to study the actual behavior of structure, the connection nonlinearity should be implemented in the joints. in this paper, three conventional connection types are modeled based on the envelope of their cyclic resp...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Performance of Polymer-encased Concrete Walls Subjected to Blast Loads

investigating cda tendency and critical thinking abilities of iranian translation students in relation to their translation quality

امروزه مسئله ی اساسی در رویکرد های جدید زبانشناسی، ابعاد اجتماعی و ایدئولوژیک زبان تلقی می شود. گروه های مختلف اجتماعی، سیاسی و یا مذهبی از زبان به عنوان ابزاری برای دستیابی به اهداف درون گروهی خود استفاده می کنند (ون دایک، 2003). آنها معولا ایدئولوژی خود را صریحا ابراز نمی کنند بلکه آن را در غالب کلمات و ساختارهای زبانی پنهان نگه می دارند. تشخیص ایدئولوژی های پنهان در گفتمان نیازمند این موضوع ...
