In this paper, a fundamental study is carried out to develop intelligent concrete with self-healing capability for prevention of water leakage. Conceptual methodology consisting of three functions of sensing, processing and executing is proposed. In the method, crack repairing agents are installed as core materials in shell bodies embedded in concrete structures. The feasibility of the proposed approach is clarified experimentally by making use of glass pipes as shell bodies containing crack repairing agents.

Based on the experimental results of strength-development behavior of massive concrete blocks, we propose a new idea of concrete strength control method for the concrete of using the B-type fly-ash cement and the fly-ash compound moderate-heat cement. (1). Concrete mix may be designed that the concrete strength of massive structures in situ satisfies the specific design strength until 13 weeks of concrete ages, not at 4 weeks. (2). Standard curing specimens are tested at 4 weeks for the strength inspection. (3). In the case where the specific design strength is under 360kgf/cm^2, the acceptable strength is more than the specific design strength. In the case where the specific design strength is over 360kgf/cm^2, the acceptable strength is more than the specific design strength plus 50kgf/cm^2.

Since 1979, we have designed and built houses that had cavity walls with concrete blocks in order to make masonry constructions appropriate for a cold climate. Styrene foam boards 100mm thick are put on the outside of the inner block walls that are load bearing. The outer skin of the 120mm thick block is tied to the inner structural wall with 13mm steel bars. In 1996, we built a new double block house with improved insulation and compared its thermal performance with that of a wooden house which had about the same specification. The kerosene consumption of the block house for space heating was 50% less and the room temperature on the day with the highest temperature was about 3℃ lower than those of the wooden house.

A compact concrete pumping apparatus was developed to evaluate the pumpability of concretes and its applicability as a testing apparatus was studied. Validity of the testing apparatus was confirmed by the pumping experiment of concrete made of normal, recycled and lightweight aggregate. Furthermore, comparison with the pumping experiments of the mobile concrete pump was made using concrete with three different water-cement ratios. As a result, it was concluded that the comparative assessment of concrete pumpability according the type of concrete may be possible by using the compact pumpability test apparatus when the change in concrete quality before and after pumping and the pressures in the pipes are measured.

Recently, dome structures have been constructed in high snowfall areas. In such structures, snow accumulated on the roof is often removed by sliding. There is not enough data about a snow accumulation shape to design the appropriate snow space below the eaves line. So, it is important to study the snow accumulation shape. This paper deals with field research and snow sliding tests on stainless steel cladding for largesale structures constructed in Sapporo, and proposes a method to predict snow accumulation shape below eaves line.

This paper shows the result of the lateral load test of the combine structure with the steel pipe-concrete hybrid pile and the steel pipe column. This type of structure is often applied to the over-truck buildings. When we design these buildings, it is important to know the behavior of pile and column-pile connection during seismic loading. The upper pile section of 12m is reinforced by a steel pipe and the steel column is embedded in the top of the pile. The column-pile connection which was used in the test showed the preferable performance under the big horizontal displacement.

Changes in earth pressure during the installation of a bored pile are measured using "geo-cells" which have been buried around the piles. Four piles are tested ; two of those are installed by the simultaneous burial method, one by normal pre-boring method and another is driven by a hydraulic hammer. For bored piles, the effective lateral earth pressure at the level of pile tip measured by geo-cells decreases first according the penetration of drilling rod and then turns to increase and records the maximum value when the tip of the rod reaches the geo-cell level. These features are similar to those of driven pile. The residual earth pressure after installation by the simultaneous burial method even keeps larger value than the inherent earth pressure before installation.

This paper describes a bearing capacity formula for steel pipe pile with four helical wings. The pile can be possessed high bearing capacity because of being screwed in with lateral soil displacement. 21 vertical loading tests, in which a new measuring system for axial strain of the pile was devised, were performed to evaluate the bearing capacity of these piles in various fields. A convenient bearing capacity formula, which is considered as a sum of end bearing capacity of the pile tip and four wings, is proposed based on the test results.

The structural system of long life reinforced concrete buildings should be selected as the total cost of the construction cost and the seismic damage cost will be minimum. We investigated the most suitable structural system of long life reinforced concrete buildings by using the total seismic cost index for the two case, which are the 100 years used period and the 200〜300years. The results make us clear that the order of suitable structural system of long life reinforced concrete buildings is that the first structural system is the base isolation system, the second one is the seismic response control system, and the last one is the ordinary system.

A construction method for multiple dwelling house up to three story using prestressed concrete hollow core panels ('SPC panels' in following) was newly developed. SPC panels have been usually used as nonstructural walls. Even though SPC panels do not have shear reinforcement, it may be possible that members except SPC, such as anchorage bars, are set to yield before cracking of SPC. In this report, based on a erection test and a shearing test, availability of this method is estimated. As results, it is recognized that term of work and cost of erection are allowable, and that SPC shear wall has enough strength for 3-story apartment. The points of future improvement are also made clear.

A shear wall building construction method was newly developed for several story dwelling house. Prestressed concrete hollow core panel ('SPC in following) that has been usually used as nonstructural walls, is applied to shear wall in this method. SPC has no shear reinforcement, therefore it is the point in structural planning that members except SPC, such as anchorage bars, are set to yield before cracking of SPC. In this report, based on a shearing test of SPC shear wall structure, the limit stress of SPC is estimated to confirm that the maximum stress of SPC is less than the limit stress. As a result, it is recognized that buildings with SPC shear walls have enough anti-seismic efficiency, and that SPC is safe from cracking.

The purpose of this paper is to calculate the resistance factors for flexural strength and shear strength of prestressed (reinforced) concrete (PC (PRC)) members. Variations of the strength are evaluated by the following three factors ; (1) differences between specimens and actual members, (2) accuracy of equations to estimate, and (3) uncertainty about mechanical properties of materials and scale effects. These three factors as random variables are investigated using available statistical data and methodology of a Monte Carlo srimulation. Results obtained herein show that the factor (2) above has the biggest influence among three factors. Furthermore, resistance factors are calculated by using the results of the variations.

The large-sized silos for coal of thermal power plants are under construction at Tachibana-cho, Anan-shi in Tokushima prefecture. The lift-up method is adopted to erect the roof structure located on top of the silos. This method is one of very effective erection methods of steel structures because of improvement of safety for erection and reducing materials for temporary supports. In this project, the working space is so small at the top of silo that it is difficult ot set up the lift-up equipment. To solve the problem we developed the new jack supporting system using the characteristic that the cylindrical shell is able to resist for bending force out of plane direction. This paper reports the developing of the new jack supporting system in the lift-up method.

In order to derive fire safety measures for the visitors' safety, 1/25 scale model experiments were carried out to characterize the smoke movement in the castle's main tower. The experiments demonstrate interesting effects of the architectural features of the castle to the smoke movement. The tests generated detailed information on the distribution of smoke for different fire scenarios ; zones left safe and others invaded by smoke. Integration of these results with the evacuation characteristics of the building should be essential for the func- tional life safety planning of the castle.

The purpose of this paper is to make the influence of spiral reinforcement clear on the fire endurance of CFT columns without fire protection experimentally and to formulate relations between the load bearing capacity and heating time. The following findings were obtained from the test results. 1) Relations between the quantity of spiral reinforcement, axial force and fire resistance time were cleared, and the formula considering the spiral reinforcement for load bearing during fire was made. 2) When axial force ratio is under 0.5, the lower the axial force ratio is, the better fire endurance of CFT columns with spiral reinforcement is. When axial force ratio is over 0.6, spiral reinforcement has no effects on fire endurance. 3) When axial force ratio is 0.3-0.5, CFT columns with spiral reinforcement maintain load bearing capacity under fire for over three hours without fire protection.

On November 17, 1998, a fire broke out at a hotel (Tenzankaku) in the Shirahama hot spring resort, in Wakayama prefecture. When the hotel fire occurred, there were 78 people in the hotel and they were not injured, fortunately. To discover how they could escape to safety, a questionnaire survey was carried out about hotel employees' action. The results of the survey are as follows : (1) The main factor for sensing an unusual occurrence was to smell something burning and for perceiving fire was to see smoke propagation in the hotel. (2) Among the initial action taken by employees after perception of fire, it was to determine the fire condition and to transmit the information to other people. (3) It took an average of 22 minutes from sensing an unusual occurrence to perceiving fire for employee to fulfil the evacuation guidelines. On the other hand, in the case of employees not fulfilling the said guidelines, it took an average 17 minutes.

This paper presents the comparisons between the field experimental results of fire in a high-rise building with a void space and the computational results by a standard high-Reynolds number k-ε model. In conclusion, the computational air flows and temperatures in the void space are locally higher than the experimental results because the computational results by the k-ε model with Boussinesq approximation overestimate the highly-buoyancy flows. However the inflow rate into the space and the averaged temperature in the space agree with the measurements relatively.

Blown sand is a serious problem for the inhabitant in the coastal area. The damage is especially serious in the district facing the Japan Sea where seasonal wind is very strong in winter. In order to reduce the strong wind which causes the blown sand, the wind break fence and the net are widely used. But such measures have a problem that the perspective and the landscape at the coastline are much prevented. In this study, the new type of countermeasure for mitigating the environmental problems due to the blown sand is developed. Here, the blown sand is prevented by spraying the clod generated from the chemical industry as the waste. The performance of developed method is tested based on the data of field measurements and wind tunnel tests.

In this study, emission rates of Aldehydes and VOCs were investigated by using a small scale stainless steel chamber, ADPAC (ADvanced Pollution and Air quality Chamber). The ADPAC system, as defined by ASTM and ECA, is consisted of a small chamber and purified air supplying unit which supplies humidified controlled air at a given ventilation rate. A stainless steel seal box with Teflon sealing was utilized to control chemical emission only from the oneside surface of the test piece. Air quality of the chamber was measured without a test piece to make sure that the background concentration inside the chamber was negligible. Emission rates from wallpaper adhesives pasted on plasterboards were investigated. The test pieces were produced at the day of measurement, and the first measurement was conducted 15 hours after the production of the test piece. Measurements were repeated 4, 7, 14, and 28 days after. Emission rates were higher in the earlier period, but decreased rapidly after 1 or 2 weeks.

The Century Housing System (CHS) is one of the early systems applied to newly-built houses for their long-lives. It is 15 years since the first CHS house was built. Some interviews were held about 6 CHS houses and questionnaires sheets for dwellers were distributed at two of them. This paper is made mainly of the questionnaire statistics and the interviews are used to refer to some related problems. The openings for inspection are not used very frequently and estimated by more frequent users like building managers. The long-life of the structure and the effectiveness of the plan flexibility and the building component part changeability are not sufficiently proofed because of the short term after the completions. The problems on the long term maintenance of building components and information for the dwellers on the CHS are brought up through this research. Especially for multi-family dwellings, the long term maintenance of the common building components and space should be considered to realize their total long-lives.
