This paper presents a series of analyses on the effect of finishing materials, environmental conditions, ages, completion years, and core compressive strength in the buildings constructed between 1953 and 1985 on carbonation of concrete. As a result, the carbonation ratio of concrete in outdoor environment and in ordinary classroom was 62% and 118% of that in living room, respectively. The correlation between the carbonation speed and core compressive strength was low. The carbonation speed of concretes that were made between 1965 and 1986 was slower than that before 1965.

Thermal cracking is caused by large hydration heat of early age concrete in massive structures. For investigating mechanical behavior of early-age concrete and thermal cracking, a kind of temperature-stress testing machine (TSTM) was employd. By controlling the hydration heat in the concrete specimen, different results were obtained on the mechanical behavior of concrete specimens made with the same mix-proportion. Influence of the quasi-complete strain restraint on the mechanical behavior was also investigated.

In over-track buildings, it is necessary not only to enhance the resistance against earthquake but also to reduce the train-induced vibration propagated to the buildings, which will be caused by trains running under the buildings. Therefore, we have proposed a structural system of a building with functions of both seismic and vibration isolation. In this structural system, laminated rubbers are set in the middle story of the building, which are softer in the vertical direction than general laminated rubbers. In this study, it has been made clear by response analysis that the resistance against earthquake is high and the reduction of train-induced vibration has been confirmed with model experiments and numerical analysis.

In this study, based on the shaking table test of two-storied timber frame structure, we examined the validity of damage detection indices calculated by using response accelerations and strains, which were previously proposed for a unit frame. Applicability of the index
f1, based on the negative slopes of bending moment, became poor for the two-storied timber frame structure compared to the previous test of unit frame. While the index
f3, based on the discontinuity of strain energy, still can detect damage time and location of column accurately. Furthermore, a new index considering both
f2, using the negative slopes of shear force, and
f4, based on the discontinuity of kinetic energy, was proposed. The index accurately detects damage time when somewhere damaged in the whole structure.

The only relationship between a working load and settlement is obtained from the test. However, the works are on the increase to estimate the bearing capacity and the rigidity of ground at the site from the rapid plate-loading test. This report presents the comparisons between the results of the static and rapid loading tests, which were performed at the nine sites, and more the rigidity and the ultimate bearing capacity of the ground at the test sites, which are estimated from the rapid loading tests.

The design and composition methods for wooden dome are described. Wooden spheric dome is transformed into spherical polygon in order to put standard sized lumbers to use. The surface of spherical polygon is replaced with a combination of units, which are consisted of lumbers and shaped six-pointed star. Each unit has wedges, which keep the adhesive angle among units, on its angular points. And the wooden dome is composed of units and wedges by adhesives. The coefficient of construction availability is devised for checking up on measurements of lumbers and rise-to-span ratio of wooden dome in the range of construction availability. It was found that the structural performance of wooden dome is not deteriorated with constructional convenience in the coefficient of construction availability, from 0 to 0.9.

A steel sandwich panel usually used as finishing materials has a potential of increasing structural performance of building frames. In this paper, authors have proposed steel sandwich panel walls for retrofit of conventional post and beam wooden structures for resisting against lateral forces, in which sandwich panels are affixed to the wooden structure with screws. The steel sandwich panel consists of double thin steel sheets and a nurate core which is resistant to fire and lateral forces. In-plane shear tests are conducted to examine the structural performance. The results show that the panel exhibited stable and satisfactory behavior. In addition, the several performance indices are provided based on the test results and an example of the retrofitting application to actural wooden structure.

When a reverse beam and regular beam are adopted as a beam in an outer frame construction, the stress exerted during an earthquake in the beam-column joint is complex. The performance of the beam-column joint can change when a PCa concrete shell is used as the column and the PCa concrete shell is extended to the panel zone of the beam-column joint. Therefore, loading tests of three-dimensional beam-column joints were carried out and structural characteristics were examined. The results confirmed that the Q-R curves show excellent energy absorption and ductility properties. The ACI equation evaluates the maximum strengths with good accuracy. If each reverse beam and regular beam's direction is examined separately, even under bidirectional loading, it is possible to design for shear stress in any direction on the safety side.

We conducted the flexural tests in the retrofit project of a historic warehouse built in 1902 at Maizuru. The test results indicate significant increase of the ductility by the reinforcement. We found from the esperiment that yielding and/or fracture of stainless pins and fracture of the bond between stainless pins and bricks are the key mechanisms of the out-of-plane flexural failure. From these observations, we present a simple design formula for estimating the out-of-plane flexural strength of the brick walls.

In conclusion, total energy consumption for lighting and others showed a small seasonal fluctuation, excepting that for refrigerator and “washret”. Energy consumption fluctuations for some appliances in some houses had a different tendency depending on weekday and holiday. Energy consumption is related to appliance performance, energy usage and resident's lifestyle.

A super insulated test house was constructed in Shinshu University of Nagano city. This house was designed with zero heating load concept and its heat loss coefficient is 0.72W/m
2K. The thermal environment and energy consumption were monitored for one year. Measured results reveal the possibility for no energy consumption for space heating with both high thermal performance of envelopes and generated heat gain from occupants, lights and so on. Also it is shown through field measurement and numerical analysis that super thermal performance with solar shading and cross ventilation conduce the decrease of energy consumption for space cooling.
