Abstract: A member of an earthquake-proof reinforcement structure is selected with reference to the allowable stress intensity ratio of the member, a ductility factor ratio allowable as a deformation magnification by earthquake-proof reinforcement of the selected member is set, an increase in load in a plasticity range, which acts on the selected member, is calculated on the basis of the set ductility factor ratio, and a corresponding allowable stress intensity ratio is obtained. When the obtained allowable stress intensity ratio is defined as a maximum value of 1.0, the corresponding increase in load in the plasticity range is specified as an ultimate load at which the selected member collapses.

Abstract: In the apparatus or method in accordance with the present invention, an ultra-low temperature liquefied gas is circulated in a flow path from a storage element 101 to the storage element 101, the loading quantity of flow and the return quantity of flow to the storage element 101 are measured by at least two flowmeters 103 and 104 provided in the flowpath, and the ultra-low temperature liquefied gas is supplied to a transportation element 105 through a flow path provided between the two flowmeters 103 and 104.

Abstract: The present invention provides a root wrapping type aseismic reinforcement construction and method for a base of a column member. A buffering portion is provided between the base of the column member and a root wrapping member to decrease bending moment generated on the base by an external force. Therefore, the bending moment is less prone to be transmitted to a foundation member, so that the bending moment born by the foundation can be reduced.
