Building new bridges Linking organization theory with other educational literatures

Purpose – This paper provides an example of how organization theory can be linked with other literatures in a complementary and productive manner. Establishing a bridge between the organization theory and learning environment literatures, the authors seek to provide an example of how such literature-bridging can enrich our understanding of the school-classroom relationship.

Super-tough Steel for Bridges and Other Applications

Addition of titanium (Ti) to ASTM A710 Grade B Cu-precipitation-strengthened steel significantly increases the impact absorbed fracture energy and reduces the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. The effect of Ti correlates with the reduction of the amount of pearlite in the ferritic microstructure. A thorough study of the mechanical properties of Ti-modified A 710-B steel is presented.

The Development of a Dynamic Amplification Estimator for Bridges with Good Road Profiles

The paper considers the influence of the surface profile on the dynamic amplification of a simply supported bridge when subject to a quarter car vehicle model. The effect of the profile irregularities on the bridge dynamic amplification is characterized with a ‘response surface’ giving dynamic amplification due to a 'unit ramp' at any location. Even though the dynamic interaction problem is non...
