According to the AIJ inspection standards of steel welding using ultrasonic testing, the standard angles of the probe are either 65 degrees or 70 degrees, but there are no official rules which probe should be used. In practical use, the 70 degrees probe is often used even though it is said that the 65 degrees probe is much superior in flaw detection.
We carried out an experiment to compare detection performance between “5MHz10×10A65” probe and “5MHz10×10A70” probe using AW specimen with internal flaw.
As a result, we found out that there were no distinct differences between the probes.

New seismic standards for wide-area suspended ceiling have been in effect from April 2014 in Japan. In the new seismic standards, screw fastening to the connection of metal parts and a lot of bracings are required. Therefore, labor cost should increase. However, actual construction work of seismically designed ceiling based on new seismic standards is not investigated. In this study, construction of the full-scale gymnasium specimen used for the shake table experiment using E-Defense is surveyed and several construction issues are identified. Based on the construction survey, it is clarified that labor costs for construction of seismically designed ceiling need 3 times more than the labor costs for construction of non-seismic ceiling.

In recent years, suspended ceilings were often damaged by earthquakes. Investigations on seismic capacity of ceilings have been conducted by some researchers. The new standard for ceilings against earthquakes requires a relatively large clearance around those to prevent collision with surrounding walls. On the other hand, there are still the needs for ceilings without clearance because of workability or room’s uses. In this paper, mechanical properties of steel furring suspended ceiling system for in-plane compression are clarified by static compression tests, using small and large scale specimen. Those properties are essential to evaluate the seismic capacity of ceilings without clearance.

Autoclave cure of ALC takes approximately 10 h under the temperature of 180℃ and saturated steam pressure of 1MPa. It is thought that strain difference between ALC and reinforcing bar, as a result of temperature change, causes the internal stress in ALC panels. This study was conducted to clarify the existence of the internal stress in ALC panels.

In this paper, the effective seismic input at strong earthquakes to the seismic design building and to the base-isolated building in Kanagawa University is evaluated. The effective seismic input based on seismic records is compared with the simple evaluation formula. Moreover, the effective seismic input on FEM analyses of base isolated building models is evaluated about the case of various response levels. As a result, in both of the structures, the input loss effect is confirmed in the low natural periods. Furthermore, the analytical results of base-isolated building models show the influence of inertia interaction in the case of small responses.

An earthquake disaster prevention system using onsite seismometers has been developed since 2009. However, ground motion intensities are underestimated for far-field earthquakes, such as great subduction earthquakes. In this paper, a general procedure to improve S-wave intensity prediction for far-field earthquakes is presented. The proposed method predicts S-wave intensity (peak ground acceleration) just before arrival of S-wave, using information of P-wave intensity as well as its duration. Finally, accuracy of the proposed method is validated with simulation using observed records. These results confirmed that S-wave intensity can be accurately estimated by the proposed method.

Change in dynamic characteristics of ten super high-rise buildings during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake was investigated through the analyses of strong motion data.
The natural periods of two RC buildings obviously increased during the earthquake, and were not recovered after the shaking. On the other hand, change of the natural periods of eight steel buildings was extremely small.
Amplitude dependency of the natural periods of the two buildings was examined. The dependency of the natural periods to the response amplitudes was clearly recognized and the trends were different between before and after the Great East Japan earthquake.

Currently, it has mandatory for seismically isolated buildings to apply earthquake motions in notification since the Building Standards Act was revised in 2000. There is a possibility the notification level exceeds an earthquake motions level had been applied before 2000. Moreover, it is concerned a long-period ground motion is occur. Therefore, it is necessary to assess difference of the response performance due to these ground motions. This paper shows one example of assessing each response performance for seismically isolated buildings designed before 2000. Furthermore, it confirms if improvements by using energy balance method can enhance performance.

In this paper, the theoretical and approximate formulas are shown that can quantitatively evaluate the lateral stiffness and end rotation angle of laminated rubber bearings applied for column top isolation. An analytical model where a rubber bearing and a column are placed in series is used, and the rubber bearing is represented by a linear model based on Haringx’s theory. Numerical calculations are conducted using the proposed formulas in which the rubber bearing diameter and the column size considering practical column top isolation are adopted as parameters. It is confirmed that the proposed formulas can estimate the validity of the column size in column top isolation.

In addition, vulnerability functions are evaluated from numerical simulations, in which houses are modeled with engineering judgment based on the experts’ discussion as well as statistics of the insurance experience. The vulnerability functions have a ground motion intensity index as an explanatory variable, which are defined according to construction year and degree of loss to be covered in earthquake insurance, so as to reflect that ground motion frequency which is more correlated with damage ratio is different by structural characteristics of houses and degree of loss.

Following results are obtained. 1) We can expect response reduction effect if base uplift occurs when pulse period is nearly equal to or larger than fundamental natural period of buildings. 2) We cannot always expect response reduction effect if base uplift occurs when pulse period is smaller than fundamental natural period and higher modes upper structure and base response are not in the same phase are excited. 3) We cannot expect response reduction effect if maximum shear deformation angle appears before base uplift occurs when pulse period is much smaller.

The conventional methods are applied a considerably long time after the completion and depend on the results of tests, necessary for reworks. The applicability of resistivity methods have been developed and studied for evaluating the quality variations of improved ground immediately after the construction. This resistivity method is based on the axial resistivity changes of a cone sensor inserted in the hardening body. As a result, it was proven to be effective in the evaluation of soil-cement columns.

SWS test is widely used as a research method to evaluate the residential sites. Advantage of SWS test is possible to evaluate the bearing capacity of residential sites. On the other hand, a disadvantage of SWS test is to determine soil and groundwater level. Suppose that if it is possible to incorporate the determination method of the soil by electrical resistivity using SWS test holes, a lot of information will be gained. As an ideal way, the electrical logging method by the electrode to the SWS test hole, is effective. Based on the above background, it was cleared that the evaluation of fine fraction content of soil was possible by electrical resistivity from the laboratory test. And the estimation equation was completed. In this study, field experiments of the six sites were performed to confirm the accuracy of the estimation equation from the laboratory test.

A practical method estimating both ground amplification and displacement is proposed for liquefied site during earthquake. This method consists of the 1D equivalent linear analysis, evaluation of liquefaction potential with an equivalent effective-stress concept, and estimation of shear modulus ratio for liquefied soil. The shear modulus ratios of liquefied soils are then estimated from inverse analyses using strong ground motion records at four sites in Japan. The estimated results lead finally to a simplified formula evaluating the shear modulus ratio of liquefied soil, which can be determined by the adjusted N-value derived from the standard penetration test.

A splice joint system for timber members was proposed and its performance was evaluated experimentally. The joints are composed of a steel plate and high-strength bolts. Bending moments in the timber members are converted to coupled bearing forces in the bolted connections between the steel and timber. The bearing strength of each bolt is enhanced through the use of doubly placed steel pipe sleeves. Experiments for the connections and splice joints were conducted. The bolt connections were found to have sufficient bearing strength to allow for yielding of the steel plates as the primary failure mechanism of the splice joints.

Since the cotter pin joint is hard to produce damage on a column, it is safer than the tusk tenon joint. Restoring force characteristics change a lot with the form and the kind of a pin. There is no difference in the restoring force characteristics by tenon length.
When the restoring force characteristics were evaluated based on past research, the experimental results were evaluated in general.

Static shear loading tests of framework with a jointed column using Kanawatsugi joint were conducted and their structural performance was evaluated. The results show that, in the strong-axis direction, the maximum load and the maximum deformation angle are same as un-jointed column, but, in the weak-axis direction, the maximum deformation angle is less than that of un-jointed column. Then, push-over analysis of frameworks with mud-plastered wall was performed. It was found that, for a jointed column, the maximum load and the maximum deformation angle are same as un-jointed column, so Netsugi maintenance does not affect structural performance of framework with mud-plastered wall.

Recently, a lot of research works on the base structures have been conducted. For example, the research on the influence of the connection conditions at piles heads on the seismic response of superstructures is one of a major theme of these researches. However, ground conditions are limited and the peeling between soil and piles which occur during earthquakes was not considered in these researches. This paper studied the seismic response of superstructures considering the various ground conditions and peeling. As a result, the influence of the peeling on the response was found to be remarkable particularly when superstructures are elastic.

Numerous reinforced concrete super high-rise buildings have recently been constructed. In order to build even higher buildings and simultaneously minimize the cross section of columns and increase the span, reinforced concrete columns using F
c150N/mm
2 super high strength concrete are being developed. No adequate studies have, however, yet been made of the structural performance of reinforced concrete columns against shear failure. In this study, three types of F
c150N/mm
2 reinforced concrete columns that were reinforced conventionally, with steel fiber and plate jacketing were subjected to static loading to identify structural performance and evaluate shear strength.

Because of its high processing accuracy, laser cutting is capable of not only contour cutting but also hole drilling. However, notches generated by welding loss at cutting start positions as well as hardening in the vicinity of the hole due to heat are negative characteristics of laser drilling. On the basis of a high-strength bolt friction joint experiment, which aims at applying a laser processing hole to a high-strength bolt, we report a slip coefficient and maximum tensile strength for laser drilling, which are equivalent to those of ordinary drilling.

In surveys on the damage of buildings caused by the 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean earthquake, it was reported that damages such as cracks were detected in a number of lead dampers used in seismically isolated buildings. After investigations of the damaged dampers in detail, it was confirmed that these cracks were generated by accumulation of small-amplitude loading like middle-small earthquakes or winds rather than by large-amplitude loading like large earthquakes or strong winds. From this background, fatigue characteristics of a lead rubber bearing (LRB) under repeated small-amplitude were evaluated by cyclic loading tests of scaled models. The shear-strain amplitudes of the testing were 1%, 10%, 20%, and the maximum number of the cycles for each level of amplitude was 4000000, 59000, and 17000, respectively.

The story drift angle has been recognized to have a close relationship with damage in the building. Several methods have been proposed using displacement sensors or corporative marker. However, they are costly. In this paper, a method using optical flow to estimate story drift angle is proposed. This method is simple and less costly. It was verified that the story drift angle was accurately obtained from the simulation tests.

U-shaped steel damper is a type of commonly-used damping device for seismically isolated structures. After earthquakes, it is necessary to quickly evaluate the damage of U-dampers to find out if they need to be replaced. However, current evaluation method can only be used when the deformation history of the U-damper is known. In this paper, a damage evaluation method based on the area covered by the recorded orbits of the base-isolated stories is proposed. The damage of the damper during aftershocks is proved to be small enough to be ignored. The conclusions of this paper are checked against experimental data.

Authors have been developing computational software for the life-cycle design of structures through utilization Genetic Algorithm. Present paper proposes application examples of the actual building in planning phase as a step for practice use. For practice use, calculation and setting method for numerical model as well as design parameters have been improved. The obtained results can be considered reasonable showing useful knowledge about structure in solution space. The two-step usage method of software on the basis of the knowledge is proposed, which can be said much more suitable for practical use.
