Abstract: This invention relates to foundation work of structures in a very cold district, especially to a method of preventing the upward movement of foundation pillars in weak ground in which concrete piles are required as foundation pillars. Concrete piles are driven to a permanent frozen stratum passing through a weak stratum which repeats freeze and melt conditions according to the atmospheric change and the like, and then the concrete piles themselves are cooled artificially or by utilizing the ultra-low temperature of the permanent frozen stratum during the period of refreeze of the weak stratum in order to make frozen parts in the weak stratum around each concrete pile.

Abstract: This invention relates to a concrete pile having a steel plate, of a semi-cylindrical shape,integrally fixed at the outer periphery thereof. The steel plate has a number of connectors protruding beyond the inner surface so as to thrust into concrete. The connectors are formed by performing the incomplete blanking of the steel plate. When the concrete pile is subjected to a concentrated load or a large bending moment, it can be reinforced by means of the steel plate. The operation of attaching a waling to the concrete pile can be also easily performed through means of the steel plate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a concrete pole having a reinforcing band and a cylindrical projection, protruding upward, at the outer periphery of the upper end, and a method of replacing the lower part of a wood pole with the said concrete pole. In order to replace the lower part of a wood pole, the lower part is first cut away from the upper part of the wood pole in use, and pulled out of the ground. Subsequently, the concrete pole is driven instead of the removed lower wood pole. Thereafter, the lower end of the upper wood pole is inserted into the cylindrical projection so as to be integrally connected with the concrete pole.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of constructing a continuous wall for supporting earth by continuously setting a number of steel sheet piles, in which a hole is bored with a screw auger, a sheet pile is sunk into the said hole with the boring, a joint of the said sheet pile is engaged with a corresponding joint of the following sheet pile, the said following sheet pile is sunk with the boring of a hole for the said following sheet pile with the said screw auger, and these operations are repeated; and further into the said holes concrete is placed or concrete piles are sunk as required.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing concrete poles which has a train system running on a rail and stays on a required place to manufacture concrete poles, and is characterized in comprising at least a wire storage device, a caging stand, a mold traverser, a spinning machine and a device for carrying materials or products.
