In Japan, approximately 8 million tons of coal ash is being produced by the electric company every year as the by-product from coal-fired thermal power plant. The volume is expected to grow further due to the new construction and expansion of coal-fired thermal power plant in the future. The use as the mixture material for concrete is the most effective use for fly ash from the viewpoint of large amount of consumption. We collect test records of JIS Type-II fly ash shipped in recent years from 24 places of each electric power station in the whole Japan for about two years. The number of data is about 450. We research about the statistical distribution of the data referring the background of present JIS standard value.

This report deals with the results by the two types of the fatigue tests. First, performed on the nowadays regularly used fastening elements applied to the ALC panel substrates, and the second performed on the complete mechanically fastened waterproofing systms. The improvements of the problematic issues are also considered. Based on the first fatigue test results, we can state that the resistance of the fasteners and the ALC substrate, to the repetitive effect, is decreased. Moreover, depending on the fastening method, there are differences between the fatigue resistances of the fastening elements. The fatigue resistance is improving in the following order: the directly applied screws, the PA plug using fasteners, and the chemical fasteners with in advance injected epoxy resin. Test results of the both fatigue tests were compared. We can state that for the present waterproofing systems, the weak point is not the low strength of the ALC substrate, but the strength of the waterproofing membrane and/or the part of the force transmission from the fastener to the membrane. We presume that there is some potential to improve these problems.

For the preliminary decision-making in the seismic risk management of buildings, we developed a computer program to evaluate the expected lifecycle cost (LCC) without time history response analysis. The methodology employs the Capacity Spectrum method to estimate peak building response in the scenario analysis for the events from a fault rupture to damage costs. For the LCC estimation, the program is equipped with the database of the seismic sources all over Japan. Then the program can compute the LCC by combining the probability models for earthquake occurrences and the deterministic losses from selected fault ruptures, which are obtained by the scenario analysis.

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag is a promising device for the management of a huge number of products at a very low cost. In the proposed system, an electrically conductive material is applied to a part of structure in which crack will occur. When a crack occurs, the electrically conductive material is broken, resulting in an increase in resistance of the measured current. Crack width can be estimated by the ability of an RFID transmitter to communicate with the tag. By bending tests of concrete specimens, the relationships between crack width and conductivity of the materials are examined.

It is shown that the RTK-GPS can be used for monitoring the displacement response of high-rise buildings in real-time. First, the applicability of the system is checked using test specimen, which can simulate high-rise buildings. Then, the system is simultaneously applied to two super-high-rise buildings during a windy day. It is concluded that although the dynamic response of the towers is not well tracked because of low amplitude of dynamic vibration, the long period displacement is observed. Such information can be used to track the behavior of the adjacent high-rise buildings for external loads.

One of the most important matters in keeping membrane structures in healthy condition is to maintain the proper tension distribution over the membrane. However, it is not easy to understand the real stress level in the membrane quantitatively after completion of the structures. Fluttering by strong wind or ponding caused by rain water may cause the severe damage of membrane structure itself and, therefore, it is very important to know magnitude of existing stress in constructed membrane structures for their maintenance and management. In this paper, a new method is proposed to measure membrane stresses in two different directions separately, where instead of measuring the membrane stresses directly, the natural frequencies of the membrane within fixed rectangular region resonated by sweep and white noise external excitation induced by sound.

A new bearing wall using so-called arakabe panel is developed to improve the seismic performance of timber frames. The arakabe panel is a precast mud-wall consisting of mud, waste paper and solidifier. By using arakabe panels instead of traditional mud-wall, it has advantages such as shortening of construction work and stabilization of quality. To evaluate the seismic performance of bearing walls framed by arakabe panels, static loading tests were carried out for various types of bearing walls. From experiments, it is found that the bearing wall framed by arakabe panels has the larger deformability and bearing force than the traditional mud-wall. It is possible easily to design a variety of bearing walls having bearing force as necessary.

To evaluate accurately the weight of traditional wood house, the weights of whole and principal members of typical traditional house so-called Kyo-machiya are examined. Here, the weights of two houses were measured. These houses are full-scale specimens for vibration tests carried out by using the E-defense shaking table in Miki-city. One was reconstructed at the test site by demolishing an old house, which was really built in 1932 in Kyoto-city. The other was newly constructed as a specimen. From the direct measurements of the whole houses, the real weight of old house is 353.14kN, and that of new house is 271.79kN. After the vibration tests, the houses were disassembled and the weights of principal members were also measured. The weights of houses obtained by the summation of each weight are about 5% less than the real weights. This difference is corresponding the weights of secondary members in houses. On the contrary, the weights calculation based on the Building Standard Law are about 15% heavier than the real weights.

When a 33-year-old schoolhouse of a university was dismantled, a beam that had been used as a structural member was removed, and its flexural crack properties and flexural load capacity were examined. It was found that the maximum flexural crack width at the main reinforcement position before flexural load was applied had become smaller than the durability limit. On the other hand, the maximum flexural crack width at the service loading after flexural load had been applied was larger than the limit value. The flexural yield load corresponded well to the ultimate flexural strength of the standard for structural calculation of reinforced concrete structures.

This paper deals with analyses of aluminum poles for reinforcement of old or weak wooden houses due to static lateral loading test. Three-dimensional elasto-plastic Finite Element Method (FEM) analyses were carried out to examine whether the computer analysis could accurately simulate or not results for the elasto-plastic behaviors of aluminum columns buried in soils with different embedment depths due to laterally loading tests. The behaviors were simulated fairly precisely by the elasto-plastic FEM. In addition, impact analyses were made for the horizontal load tests for aluminum poles with actual size buried in a soil to examine the applicability of the three-dimensional FEM. In consequence, the impact behaviors of the aluminum column could be found in consideration of the elasto-plastic interaction between aluminum column and soil.

In this paper, renovated performance of evacuation safety of converted buildings, from office to residential and welfare facilities, is analyzed quantitatively, calculating by "Verification method for evacuation safety". Performance of evacuation safety is estimated by "the marginal time" which is the remainder of "the time taking to clear the fire room" from "Smoke filling time". Converted buildings are analyzed below process, (1) "The marginal time" is calculated for former plans as office occupancy. (2) "The marginal time" is calculated for present plans as converted occupancy. Comparative studies are made by checking "the marginal time", difference between converted plans and former plans. (3) Problems or weak points of converted plans are pointed out from a viewpoint of performance based evacuation safety. Secondly improved plans are proposed with "the marginal time". Comparative studies are made by checking "the marginal time", difference between improved plans and converted plans.

A full investigation including an influence of resonance of floor vibration caused by human action repeated at constant tempo (such as walking, aerobic dance, etc.) was done on actual floors where the natural frequency and damping were small. As a result, it was shown that the evaluation was greatly different by presence of resonance. And, the meanings of evaluation curves provided in the guideline of A.I.J. were clarified from the relations to resident's evaluation. Moreover, new analyzing methods of damping characteristic and resonance frequency were presented. Finally, the applicability of a new vibration reduction system for actual buildings, which is proposed by one of authors, was proved.

The new edition of "Guidelines for the evaluation of habitability to building vibration" in AIJ was published in 2004. It is recommended that the habitability to traffice vibrations uses the peak value of floor vibration acceleration in each 1/3-octave band. In order to utilize the new guideline effectively, it is necessary to accumulate measurements in the 1/3-octave band values. WG on Measurement Technique of Environmental Vibration in AIJ and GOTO Laboratory of Hosei University jointly implemented an experimental measurement of house vibration induced-by running train. This paper considers variable factors affecting measurements in the 1/3-octave band values for the house vibration and refers to usage notes for applying the guidelines.

This paper focuses on verification of impacts of practical renovations regarding thermal performances, which can be applied conventional wooden frame houses in mild climate regions. The practical renovations in this paper consist of followings; 1) Install insulation materials to the ceiling and the floor, 2) Insert wrapped batt insulations to prevent exfiltration at the connections of the wall and the floor, 3) Exchange single glasses for double glassings on windows. These methods were demonstrated on an actual wood frame house that satisfied the former energy conservation standard. Impacts of the renovations on air tightness and specific heat loss coefficient were clarified quantitatively by nonlinear regressions and field measurements. Furthermore improvement of indoor environments and hygrothermal behavior after the renovation were studied.

Authors have so far experimented to indoor air flowing in into a wall. As a result, it has reported that indoor air flows in into a wall even from openings with a slight wall socket. In this report, filling-up thermal insulation wall model using inorganic fiber insulating materials packed in polyethylene bag which has spread most in the warm area was used. The wall socket assumed to be openings was installed on the interior wall, and the experiment was conducted using house wrapping sheet and plywood for structures as wall composition material. As a result, the dew condensation situation in a wall was confirmed. In addition, by making a hole in plywood for structures, vapor resistance of a wall was reduced and the method of construction which decreases the quantity of dew condensation in a wall was examined. Furthermore, even if indoor wet air flows in into a wall, a measure method of construction with the effect which controls generating of dew condensation is proposed. Morevoer, comparison examination of the conventional method of construction and the new measure method of construction is carried out.

This paper was researched for toileted paper exhausted from the water closets. The product of toilet paper is paper is provided for by JIS P 4501. Toilet paper dissolved in water, and examined whether to pollute water. The examination is mass, amount of the organism, SS, COD, BOD. As for the result of the research, toilet paper is a pollution thing. The proportion of each pollution thing to mass became clear. Moreover, the proportion of the transportation distance of double toilet paper to mass became clear. However it has been understood that toilet paper of the single was a little related to mass.
