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.

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.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a cable, a filling step S5 of filling a tube hole of a socket main body which is formed in a tubular shape and in which first end portions of wire rods are disposed with a mixture obtained by mixing a thermosetting resin into a preliminary mixture obtained by mixing ceramic particles and fly ash in advance is carried out.
Abstract: An end fixing structure of a composite wire rod includes a composite wire rod, a wedge body that is formed into a cylindrical shape with an enlarging diameter from a front end portion, wherein an inner wall surface is formed for engaging with the outer surface of the composite wire rod which is copied onto the inner wall surface, and a sleeve provided on an outer peripheral side of the wedge body and having a conical and hollow inner structure, and the wedge body consists of a plurality of divided wedge bodies, facing each other on their divided surfaces with a space therebetween, and the inner wall surface in the divided wedge body is made of microscopic irregularities, thereby shortening a processing time and maintaining a sufficient gripping power over long term.
Abstract: A cable (10) includes a cable body (11) that is formed from a plurality of wires (14) that are integrally bundled; and a pair of sockets (12) to which both end portions of the cable body (11) is separately affixed; at least one of the plurality of wires (14) being a fiber-containing wire (16), which is formed by an optical fiber (17) that extends in a cable length direction (D) and that is protected by a protective tube (18); wherein the optical fiber (17) protrudes from the protective tube (18), in the cable length direction, further outside than the socket (12); and each of the pair of sockets (12) is provided with a spool (30) that removably holds the optical fiber (17) and imparts an initial tensile strain to the optical fiber (17).
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.
