  • Patent number: 11753823
    Abstract: A concrete structure includes a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon. A short fiber reinforcing material consisting of an organic fiber is mixed in 0.5% or more with respect to an entire volume. The continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is shaped like a rod or a stranded wire. A ratio Lf/Gm between a fiber length Lf of the organic fiber of the short fiber reinforcing material and a maximum aggregate diameter Gm of a concrete composition is 1.2 to 3.7, and an aspect ratio Lf/De, in which De is an equivalent diameter that is a cross-sectional area of the organic fiber converted into a circle diameter, is 30 to 69.

  • Patent number: 11480635
    Abstract: A tension measuring method installs a reel having a cylindrical coil forming part on a cable to be measured, forms a coil by winding a conductor around the coil forming part, measures a magnetic hysteresis loop of the cable by supplying a current to the coil to generate a magnetic field, and computes a tension of the cable using a parameter determined from the hysteresis loop. A magnetic field sensor and a magnetic flux sensor are provided inside a through hole in the coil forming part, and the cable is positioned inside the through hole. The magnetic field is varied so that the hysteresis loop includes a near-saturation magnetization region, to measure the hysteresis loop using the sensors. The parameter is selected from a magnetic flux or a magnetic flux density, a remanent magnetization, a coercivity, a magnetic permeability, and a hysteresis loss in the near-saturation magnetization region.

  • Patent number: 9869056
    Abstract: A rope terminal fixing method is provided, which may be used easily at a construction site, causes less shearing load, and may reliably prevent the falling-off of the rope. The rope terminal fixing method comprises the following steps. A tubular terminal metal fitting which comprises a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a through hole communicating the proximal and distal openings is prepared. A terminal of a rope is inserted through the proximal opening into the through hole, a portion of the terminal of the rope extended from the distal opening is loosened, and a diameter-enlarging member is fixed to a core wire of the rope. Then, the terminal of the rope is brought back into the through hole. A fixed width portion extending in an axial direction of the terminal metal fitting is pressed from the outside in a circumferential direction by swaging, such that a protrusion constraining the rope so as to reduce its diameter is formed in the through hole.
