    In this paper, we examined the best curing condition to manufacture a ultra-high strength mortar of 300N/mm2 class. As a result of the study, the influence that the warm water curing had on the high intensity was the largest. The impact by the pressurizing curing was comparatively remarkable. The ultra-high strength mortar that exceeded 300N/mm2 was able to be made by combining the warm water curing, the heat curing, and the pressurizing curing.

    Using one typical kind of free-access floor specimen, the behavior during seismic excitation by three-dimension input wave was compared with that by horizontal one-dimension input wave. As the conclusion, it was obtained that damage by real three-dimension seismic excitation could be estimated based on the result of the excitation test using one-dimension input wave, which was selected from two horizontal axes as the direction containing the maximum acceleration. The result of this study will be applied to establish the simple method to evaluate the seismic resistance of free-access floor, which will consist of one-dimension excitation test.

    The sliding bearings are used for lightweight structures instead of the laminated rubber bearings. In many studies, the frictional coefficients of sliding bearings are assumed as less than 0.1. However, even if frictional coefficient is about 0.2, it may be effective for a big earthquake (max. acceleration > 200cm/s2). In this study, the effectiveness of sliding bearings made of surface-treated steel plates is examined. The reduction effect of response is proved by shaking table test, and the frictional coefficients are identified analytically.

    New seismic suppression system has been developed. In this system, the structural elements absorbing seismic energy are provided completely apart from the parts supporting vertical load. Steel dampers and oil dampers are incorporated as the seismic response control devices. In case of earthquake, these energy dissipation devices act effectively and absorb seismic energy. As a result, high seismic performance can be obtained and a new architectural frame can be realized as well. This paper describes the outline of this new system and the application to an office building and this structural design.

    Thermal insulations of detached houses are much more important in the 21st century, in which the world focuses are paid on the global warming issues. Performances of thermal insulations are evaluated using the Q-value (heat loss coefficients) on desks. However actual performances of thermal insulations are not realized only by insulation thickness, but are also affected by the air tightness of the building envelopes and by the insulation methods. This paper describes a practical field measurement method of the Q-value, developed by the authors, and shows example data obtained in existent detached houses using the developed measurement method.
