  • Publication number: 20190195255
    Abstract: The accessory attachment structure for attaching an accessory to a steel plate-reinforced concrete structure, the steel plate-reinforced concrete structure being provided with a steel plate frame, bars fixedly installed on an inner face of an outside steel plate, and concrete, the accessory attachment structure includes an attachment plate in which one face thereof is attached to the outside steel plate and the accessory is attached to the other face thereof. The size of the other face of the attachment plate is larger than that of a whole attachment face to be attached to the attachment plate of the accessory, the size if the one face is equal to or greater than the other face, and the length of the attachment plate in any direction along the one face of the attachment plate is at least two times greater than a mutual interval between the bars.

  • Patent number: 9548140
    Abstract: A nuclear reactor vessel structure includes an inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, an outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, and an intermediate tube-shaped steel plate disposed between the inner and outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plates, and is configured to support a nuclear reactor vessel on the inner peripheral side of a tube-shaped structure with concrete placed between the steel plates. The nuclear reactor vessel structure includes a support having a tube-shaped plate disposed on the inner peripheral side of the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate, and an annular plate which protrudes to the inner peripheral side of the tube-shaped plate and to which a connection section is affixed. The support is affixed to the concrete, which is placed between the inner peripheral and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plates, by first bar members, and the support is also affixed to the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate by second bar members.

  • Patent number: 5653082
    Abstract: Disclosed is a concrete-filled steel bearing earthquake resistant wall which shows combined resistance to shearing forces exerted in the surface plane of an earthquake resistant wall. The wall comprises connecting members 1, a pair of surface steel plates 2 and 2' which are arranged in a parallel relationship to each other and secured by the connecting members 1 so that each space between these surface steel plates 2 is filled with the wall unit concrete 7, and wall unit periphery binding steel reinforcements 8 constructed from inverted U-shaped steel bars or similar material and arranged along the peripheral part of the wall unit concrete 7 at predetermined intervals so as to be fixed to said concrete 7. In addition, the slippage preventing members 6 are arranged in a staggered arrangement on the aforementioned surface steel plates 2 and 2'.

  • Patent number: 5247272
    Abstract: A dipole coil for use in a superconducting electromagnet employs two saddle-shaped coils in a diametrically opposed relationship. Each of the saddle-shaped coils includes central linearly extending portions, and curved saddle portions at the ends of the coil, respectively. A trapezoidal curved portion spacer is wedged into place against part of the saddle portion of the coil at the end thereof so as to exert a compressive force on such part which will inhibit displacement of the coil windings when an electromagnetic force acts thereon. In this way, friction at the coil is suppressed so as to prevent quenching. At the other end of the coil, the trapezoidal spacer includes a triangular member and a trapezoidal member spaced from one another so as to define a passageway. Leads of the coil are respectively accommodated in such passageways to prevent an excessive force from acting thereon. In this way, damage to the leads is also prevented.

  • Patent number: 5126711
    Abstract: A novel construction of a superconductive coil system, having sufficient coupling strength and stiffness and being easy to assemble, is disclosed. A coil retainer of a stiffened cylindrical shell is divided into two parts for receiving coils and spacers. The inner circumference sides of the adjoining portions of the two parts form a dividing surface consisting of a plane extending longitudinally and are coupled with bolts having their axes directed in the circumferential direction. The outer circumference sides of the same adjoining portions form comb teeth meshed with each other and keyways extending longitudinally along the outer surface of the same comb teeth, and are coupled by keys inserted into the keyways and having their axes directed in the longitudinal direction.
