Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an avalanche preventive structure coping with the change in snow quality in a snowy period and effective throughout a whole period. SOLUTION: An avalanche can be effectively prevented throughout the whole snowy period by anchoring and fixing slip preventive bodies 1 each having a height of at least 10% of snow coverage depth and a length of at least 100 cm, to a slope. Even for soft snow quality in the snowfall period, the length of the slip preventive bodies 1 is sufficient and a pressure receiving width is large to cause no void. An avalanche preventive effect is sufficient even to a hard quality of compacted snow in a snow melting period, and the avalanche can be prevented coping with all the periods of the snowfall period and snow melting period.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an economical and small reinforcement structure of existing buildings adaptable to earthquakes ranging from small/medium to large magnitudes. SOLUTION: In the reinforcement structure 1 of existing buildings, new earthquake resistant reinforcement members 4 are formed on the outside of an existing building 2, dampers 14 are installed between the new earthquake resistant reinforcement members 4 and the existing building 2, and tension members 16 disposed between the new earthquake resistant reinforcement members 4 in the span direction and the ridge direction are fixed to the new earthquake resistant reinforcement materials 4 with a predetermined tension applied thereto.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a precast concrete pole having an increased tensile strength and a method of joining the precast concrete pole. SOLUTION: In this precast concrete pole 1, PC steel members 7 each comprising a plurality of pieces are disposed on the insides of the column main reinforcements 5 of a precast concrete pole body 2, respectively. The upper parts of the PC steel members 7 project a proper length from the top end of the pole. The lower part thereof projects a proper length into a sleeve 10 disposed on the lower part of the precast concrete pole body 2. Insertion holes 4, 19 for inserting crimpingly joining cables 20, 21, respectively, are vertically formed through the center part of the precast concrete pole body 2. Beam joining jaws 3, 14 project from the upper side surface of the precast concrete pole body 2. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anti-freezing cement composition capable of continuing normal crystallization reaction without the freezing of cement concrete even under an outside temperature below the freezing point. SOLUTION: When cement milk for grout or cement mortar in which water/cement ratio is about 26% or concrete in which water/cement ratio is 20% is prepared by adding 0.25 pts.wt. polycarboxylic acid into 100 pts.wt. portland cement and kneading and is hardened under an atmosphere of a temperature below the freezing point, the blended water is not freezed and the flowability of the cement milk is kept and the slump of the concrete does not occur without problems. The compressive strength is the same as one into which an anti-freezing admixture is not added. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cable routing method at a deflecting portion, in a manner preventing a fretting phenomenon, deviation of a cable centroid from a design drawing centroid, and collapse of sheathes and synthetic resin films. SOLUTION: According to the cable routing method at the deflecting portion, a plurality of prestressing wires 6 each covered with a sheath 11 are penetrated through a through hole 5 formed in the deflecting portion 4 for deflecting the cable 1 arranged on an external surface of a structure, then they are held in the through hole 5 at intervals that do not bring the prestressing wires 6 into contact with each other, and a filler 14 is filled in the through hole 5, followed by straining the prestressing wires 6 after hardening of the filler 14. Alternatively, an inner pipe 15 may be set in the through hole 5 formed in the deflecting portion 4, and the plurality of prestressing wires 6 each covered with the sheath 11 are penetrated through the inner pipe 15. Then after arranging the prestressing wires 6 in the inner pipe 15 at intervals that do not bring the prestressing wires 6 into contact with each other, the filler 14 is filled in the inner pipe 15, followed by straining the prestressing wires 6 after hardening of the filler 14.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of constructing a base-isolated structure, which sets a base isolation device with good accuracy. SOLUTION: In the method of constructing the base-isolated structure, a steel pipe 6 driven in the ground 8 in a manner protruding a head thereof from the ground 8, is filled with concrete 7, until the concrete 7 overflows the steel pipe 6 to form an encasing concrete portion 10 for covering the head. Then the base isolation device 4 is secured onto the encasing concrete portion 10, and thereafter a foundation 3 is formed on the base isolation device 4, to construct a skeleton of a superstructure.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a base-isolated structure which prevents a thin rubber plate in a base isolation device from yielding when a giant earthquake occurs. SOLUTION: According to the base-isolated structure 1, the base isolation device 4 is interposed between a steel pipe pile 2 and a cut-off foundation 3, and specifically the base isolation device 4 is set on an encasing concrete section 10 formed around a pile head 9. The encasing concrete section 10 is formed such that concrete 7 filled in a steel pipe 6 overflows to cover the pile head 9 protruding from the ground 8. Then a tension member 5 is penetrated from the steel pipe pile 2 via the base isolation device 4 to the foundation 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
