We study the strength development of massive concrete using fly-ash. We propose a new idea of concrete strength control method. 1) Concrete mix proportion may be designed that the concrete strength of massive structures satisfies the specific design strength until 91 days of concrete ages. 2) In the case of the B-type fly-ash cement or substituting fly-ash for 15-30% of the cement, standard curing specimens are tested at 28 days for the strength inspection. 3) In the case of substituting fly-ash for 45% of the cement, standard curing specimens are tested at 91 days for the strength inspection.

Mass precast concrete elements for columns and beams have been developed in recent years to improve the quality of reinforced concrete structures and simplify their methods of construction. The object of this work was to study the temperature history of mass precast concrete elements in their production process. By heat curing from the outside and internal storage of the heat of cement hydration, the mass precast concrete elements showed different temperature history from the thin precast concrete elements for walls and floor slabs. The temperature history at the center of mass precast concrete elements was different from that at the surface of mass precast concrete elements. A larger section size of elements resulted in larger difference in temperature between the center and the surface of mass precast concrete elements.

Mass precast concrete elements for columns and beams have been developed in recent years to improve the quality of reinforced concrete structures and simplify their methods of construction. The object of this work was to study the strength of mass precast concrete elements. The mass precast concrete element showed different strength from the thin precast concrete element cured under the same heating condition. This is attributed to the difference in temperature history caused by the internal storage of heat of cement hydration in the mass precast concrete element. Using the maximum temperature as a parameter, the strength could be uniformly predicted regardless of the section size and the position of precast concrete elements.

Recently many new methods have been developed to prevent tilework fall-off. However, standard testing procedures have thus far not tried to determine the seismic resistance capacity of these methods. In this study, seismic tests were conducted using true-to-scale specimens of tile-covered walls in order to accurately determine the seismic resistance capacity of these methods. It has been concluded that, particularly, above a lst-story deformation angle of 1/250, a cyclic load leads to a loss of bonding strength. The seismic test also revealed differences in the performances of tiling methods, especially above a deformation ratio 1/250. The method utilizing a three-dimensional knitted fabric covers cracks in concrete walls remarkably well and resists cracking and delamination.

This paper deals with durability test results of tiling system adhered with elastomeric adhesives. Because the system is regarded as to be effective to prevent breakage of ceramic tiles on concrete wall, the durability of the system has to be cleard in order to apply on the actual wall. With tiled concrete specimens, tests such as heat aging, outdoor exposure, immersion in alkaline water and freezing and thawing were made. In addition to the tests, heat aging and hot water immersion were made with adhesive specimens formed in sheet. Changes of adhesive performance during the tests were detected in adhesive strength with tiled concrete specimens, and tensile properties with sheet specimens. And then, heat aging has been discussed based on the theory of chemical reaction rate.

Durability design of concrete structures is now one of the main issues in the field of structural engineering. Since the durability depends mainly on the pore structures of concrete and the environment to which concrete is exposed, data of concrete temperatures and moisture content are essential for the durability design. For collecting the data, concrete specimens with different water-cement ratios were exposed in the open-air. In this paper, the experimental results of the temperatures and moisture content in concrete are reported and they are briefly discussed in relation to the climatic conditions, the sheltered condition and the pore structure.

An FBG (fiber Bragg grating) accelerometer was developed for buildings and civil infrastructures. The accelerometer has a high sensitivity in low frequency range to cover the most important frequency components of the structural response, typically below 50Hz. The optimum design procedure to realize the maximum sensitivity under given constraints was developed considering two mechanisms. The proposed FBG accelerometer takes the advantage of an L-shaped angle element with its leverage effects. The lifetime of the developed sensor was also evaluated based on the crack theory. The lifetime of a sensor system consisting of ten FBG accelerometers was shown to be more than fifty years.

200kN MR damper was developed as a variable damper using two kinds of MR fluid. One is commercial product, and another is trial product. The experimental tests were conducted by excitation of sinusoidal wave, triangle wave, and random wave. As the result, the expected damping force was generated, and the basic characteristic of the damper was observed. In the domain of 0.15 [cm/s] to 20 [cm/s], force and piston velocity are in a proportional relation mostly, the fluid of trial product was understood that the ratio of force to piston velocity is larger and the width of the change to electric current is also larger compared with commercial fluid. When the period for the growth of the damper force by electric current was measured, it turns out that it has sufficient reaction speed.

A new smooth-curve hysteresis model for laminated rubber bearings, named 'Modified HD model' is proposed. Its simple formulation can be easily applied to both lead-plugged rubber bearings and high-damping rubber bearings, employing the parameters in widely-used modified bi-linear models. The hysteresis loops by the modified HD models have good agreement with those by loading test of laminated rubber bearings. The results of earthquake response analyses for a tall base-isolated building using the modified HD model are compared with those using modified bi-linear model.

We have examined the effects of heavy traffic on dispersion curves analyzed by the space autocorrelation method. In order to observe short-period microtremors circular arrays of six seismometers with radiuses of 5 and 20m were deployed at the position 200m away from a road on which traffic was heavy. We took out waveforms with durations of 10s from the array data, and estimated power spectral densities and spatial autocorrelation coefficients. Changing the start time of the waveform segments, we repeated this procedure over entire records. It is revealed that the phase velocities analyzed depend on the intensity of microtremors.

For rationalization of construction work, a new construction method for R/C column using a precast concrete shell was developed. By a new method of assembling tie-hoops and constructing inner forms, and using high fluidity concrete, four workers can construct two high quality cast-in-place precast concrete shells in a day. In the case of a high-rise building, when a unit construction method is adopted (unit consists of a precast concrete shell combined with column main reinforcement and beam reinforcement) installation expenses decrease with work efficiency increase, a 14〜25% reduction is possible over the conventional method in respect to the length of time for skeleton construction work, the number of mechanical joints for reinforcement is decreased by about 25%. This can reduce the cost for skeleton construction of 32-story building by about 3%.

In this paper, a simple column-beam joint in steel structures is experimentally studied. The joint is achieved by means of filling steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites at the gap. In the test, simple beam specimens are employed by filling both steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites and concrete at the joint, and unidirectional cyclic load is applied. The empirical results show that the specimens with steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites give enough stiffness and strength without prominent damage in comparison to the specimens with concrete. It is concluded that the simple column-beam joint with steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites is applicable.

The following were observed as the results of questionnaire survey for building users and experts. They all have a clear idea and they want to suppress hazard severity to a small level. This is more evident for "hazard to human life" and "loss of property value" than for "function of building". If the fuzzy relation is used, the membership functions with respect to the structural damage level can be obtained from the performance requirement level. The performance requirement level is determined by users and owners for "hazard to human life" and "loss of property value". It thus becomes possible to convert the performance requirement level determined by users and owners to a structural damage level.

The monocoque sandwich panel roof has been developed. The production process is called VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding). The panel is composed of two facings with CFRP skin, core between the facings with phenol foam and ribs connecting the facings with GFRP. Experiments were conducted on the flat panel elements and the full-scale U-shaped shell. The experiments verified that local buckling (wrinkling) of facing was critical and the structural behavior was elastic till the local buckling was occured. Based on the experiments, the strengths and the safety factors for design were decided. The CFRP sandwich shells were applied to some gymnasium roofs.

Thermal environment, especially air temperature distribution, inside the semiclosed arcade located at Nagasaki was investigated on field observations both in summer 2000 and in winter 2001. Air temperature at the height of 1.0 meter in the occupied zone was a little higher than outside air temperature both in summer and in winter. In the daytime of summer, vertical distribution of air temperature showed a slope of high temperature in the upper part and low temperature in the lower part. However, both in the nighttime of summer and winter, vertical distribution of air temperature did not show a slope.

A house with passive ventilation system in Morioka City was surveyed relating with indoor thermal environment. It was proved that indoor temperature was kept at about 18℃ all through the day in winter. Indoor thermal environment at the living room in winter was good. But the cold draft from the second floor flowed into the living room in the night. And relative humidity in the room was low in winter. Air change rate in winter was much, and it was necessary to adjust air change rate. Energy consumption was more than the average energy consumption in Tohoku district.

A breathing wall using rice straw charcoal was applied to the solar house, which had a floor heating and cooling system using outdoor air. In order to investigate the possibility of practical use of the wall, thermal and moisture characteristics of the wall were experimentally examined using the actual sized walls installed in the solar house, which was situated in suburban Tokyo. As a result of the outdoor measurement, it was found that high humidity condition in the walls did not last longer than a day from winter through summer. Moreover, in spite of high wind velocity condition in summer, the difference of temperature between the walls inflow-surface and the room showed less than 3K.
