  • Patent number: 5809702
    Abstract: A plate structure block for establishing a surface layer ground is formed integrally with an iron plate on an upper surface of a reinforced concrete member. A lift metal fittings for transporting the block is installed on the block. The surface layer ground establishment block has a large ground bearing pressure and is a portable block. This block is covered on the surface layer ground and establishes the ground for operating a heavy material machinery and/or for maintaining a heavy material member. By operating a mobile heavy crane on the established ground, the working for constructing a plant is carried out. The material for constructing the ground is reused, the shape of the ground site is easily changed, and the dismantling and removal of the ground is simplified.

  • Patent number: 5748690
    Abstract: In a method of construction of a reinforced concrete diaphragm floor of a nuclear reactor reinforced concrete containment vessel, a bottom surface of the diaphragm floor is provided in the form of an iron plate. The iron plate, an iron bar beam portion for supporting the load provided by concrete during a concrete pouring time, and a reinforcing bar member to be buried in the concrete of the diaphragm floor are assembled outside of a building in which the nuclear reactor is to be embodied. The above members are carried using lifting machinery and are set in a permanent receiving member which is provided on both a main body of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel and a steel member serving as a concrete mold frame of an outer wall of the nuclear reactor reinforced concrete vessel. A concrete pouring is carried out in stages so as to form successive layers of concrete during plural pouring times.
