  • Recently, more highly effective construction materials are needed for the reasonable and economical structure system is required as the construction structures become more multi storied, large-sized and diversified. That is to say, the highly qualified concrete, the molt universal construction material is positively promoted as a part of plan to establish the effective space according to the dead load of structures and diminish of segment profile and to build up the economic structures. In particular, it is tendency of that the study for high strength concrete increases and construction example of reinforced concrete (RC) using the high strength concrete partially increases. However, the high strength concrete has the problems such high brittleness and low ductility. Specially, for the high strength concrete, it has different strength from normal concrete as the internal temperature goes up steadily due to high heat of hydration by the quantities of highly level of cement, so the concrete which is mixed with various scible materials is used. This study conducted a basic experiment to conclude an adequate selection of materials and to calculate an optimal mixing proportion of those materials to produce High-strength concrete. And also we conducted an experiment to find out basic properties of this concrete such as slump-flow, strength.

Specially, for the high strength concrete, it has different strength from normal concrete as the internal temperature goes up steadily due to high heat of hydration by the quantities of highly level of cement, so the concrete which is mixed with various miscible materials is used. As the development and study for high strength concrete (more than $100N/mm^2$) is under way actively and the strength of high strength concrete increases, the strength different from the existing high strength concrete of ten than $100N/mm^2$, but the study for this is not adequate and indefinite. In addition, the study and report to apply the strength expression and analysis results of internal structure. Therefore, this study is an experiment about using the miscible materials affects what happens to the longitudinal physical property.

  • Large space structures may have resonant low eigenvalues and often these appear with closely-spaced natural frequencies. Owing to the coupling among modes with closely-spaced natural frequencies, each eigenvector corresponding to closely-spaced eigenvalues is ill-conditioned that may cause structural instability. The subspace to an invariant subspace corresponding to closely-spaced eigenvalues is well-conditioned, so a method is presented to design the feedback control law of intelligent structures with closely-spaced eigenvalues in this paper. The main steps are as follows: firstly, the system with closely-spaced eigenvalues is transformed into that with repeated eigenvalues by the spectral decomposition method; secondly, the computation for the linear combination of eigenvectors corresponding to repeated eigenvalues is obtained; thirdly, the feedback control law is designed on the basis of the system with repeated eigenvalues; fourthly, the system with closely-spaced eigenvalues is regarded as perturbed system on the basis of the system with repeated eigenvalues; finally, the feedback control law is applied to the original system, the first order perturbations of eigenvalues are discussed when the parameter modifications of the system are introduced. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the application of the present method.

  • In order to figure out the usability of various timber structures in the educational facility, the recent timber structure examples published in the Japanese architectural magazine, 'ShinKenchiku' over the past five years were surveyed. As the results, timber structures were presented in many cases of nursery schools and kindergartens overwhelmingly, and they also used in various school buildings, university facilities, and the roof structure of the school's gymnasium, with intention of having the differentiated design and space features. The examples show that span 6 to 10m is generally used with flexure structure system and flexure+compression structure system added the strut as compression members. In addition concerning stability, it was founded that the struts have an stability effect in the flexure+compression structure system, and flexure structure system examples using semi-rigid joints have open spaces liberally in two-way direction for about 9m span. For large spaces structures with span of 15~20m or more, the various structural system such as suspension structure, truss, flexure+compression, etc. was designed to overcome the material limitations of timbers and to make an design effect in structure system.

  • Two single crystals of fully dehydrated $Rb^+$ -exchanged zeolite A have been prepared by the reduction of all $Ca^{2+}$ ions in dehydrated $Ca_6$-A by rubidium vapor. Their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods in the cubic space group Pm3m (a=12.160(2) $^{\AA}$ and 12.166(2) $^{\AA}$) at 22(1)$^{\circ}$C. In these structures, 12.4(2) to 13.3(2) Rb species are found per unit cell, more than 12 Rb$^+$ ions needed to balance the anionic charge of the zeolite framework, indicating that the sorption $Rb^0$ has occurred. In each structure, three $Rb^+$ ions per unit cell are located at the centers of the 8-rings. Six to eight $Rb^+$ ions are found opposite the 6-rings on threefold axes, and three $Rb^+$ ions are found in a sodalite unit. About 0.5 $Rb^+$ ion lies opposite a 4-ring. The structural analysis indicates the presence of a triangular rubidium cluster in the sodalite cavities. The triangular rubidium clusters may be stabilized by the coordination to two and/or three rubidium ions in the large cavity. Therefore, this cluster may be viewed as $(Rb_5)^{4+}$ and/or $(Rb_6)^{4+}$.

  • Four crystal structures of dehydrated Ag(I) and Tl(I) exchanged zeolite A, $Ag_{12-x}Tl_x$-A, x = 2, 3, 4, and 5, have been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques. Their structures were solved and refined in the cubic space group Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C$. All crystals were ion exchanged in flowing streams of mixed $AgNO_3\;and\;TlNO_3$ aqueous solution, followed by dehydration at $350^{\circ}C$ and $2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days. In all of these structures, one-sixth of the sodalite units contain octahedral hexasilver clusters at their centers and eight $Ag^+$ ions are found on threefold axes, each nearly at the center of a 6-oxygen ring. The hexasilver cluster is stabilized by coordination to eight $Ag^+$ ions. The Ag-Ag distance in the cluster, ca. 2.92 ${\AA}$, is near the 2.89 ${\AA}$ bond length in silver metal. The remaining five-sixths of the sodalite units are empty of silver species. The first three $Tl^+$ ions per unit cell preferentially associate with 8-oxygen rings, and additional $Tl^+$ ions, if present, are found on threefold axes in the large cavity.

  • This paper deals with the creation of a new, low-cost point/position tracking system that can measure deformations in engineering structures with simple commercially widespread cameras. Though point tracking systems do exist today, such as Stereo Pattern Recognition (SPR) and Projection Moir$\acute{e}$ Interferometry (PMI) systems, they are far too costly to use to analyze small, simple structures because complex optical components such as large flashes, high-resolution cameras and data acquisition systems with several computers are required. We developed a point tracking system using commercial cameras. This system used IR LEDs and commercial IR CCD cameras to minimize the interference posed by other extraneous light sources. The main algorithm used for this system is an optical point tracking algorithm, which is composed of the point extraction algorithm and the point matching algorithm for 3-D motion estimation. a series of verification tests were performed. Then, the developed point tracking system was applied to measure deformations of an acrylic plate under a mechanical load. The measured deformations of the acrylic plate matched well with the numerical analysis results. The results indicate that the developed point tracking system is reliable enough to measure continuous deformed shapes of various engineering structures.

  • The crystal structure of dehydrated $Ag_{5.6}K_{6.4}-A$, zeolite A ion-exchanged with $K^+\;and\;Ag^+$ as indicated and dehydrated at 360$^{\circ}$C, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Also determined were the structures of the products of the reactions of this zeolite with 0.1 Torr of Cs vapor at 250$^{\circ}$C for 48 h and 72 h, and with 0.1 Torr of Rb vapor at 250$^{\circ}$C for 24 h. The structures were solved and refined in the cubic space group Pm3m at 21(l)$^{\circ}$C (a= 12.255(l) ${\AA}$ , 12.367(l) ${\AA}$, 12.350(l) ${\AA}$, and 12.263(l) ${\AA}$, respectively). Dehydrated $Ag_{5.6}K_{6.4}$-A was refined to the final error indices $R_1= 0.044\;and\;R_2=0.037$ with 202 reflections for which I>3${\sigma}$(I). The crystal structures of the reaction products were refined to $R_1=0.087\;and\;R_2= 0.089$ with 157 reflections, $R_1=0.080\;and\;R_2= 0.087$ with 161 reflections, and $R_1= 0.071\;and\;R_2=0.061$ with 88 reflections, respectively. In the structure of $Ag_{5.6}K_{6.4}-A,\;K^+$ ions block all 8-oxygen rings, and one reduced Ag atom is found per sodalite cavity. Also, ca. 4.6 $Ag^+ ions\;and\;3.4 K^+ ions$ are found at 6-ring sites in the large cavity. The crystal structures of the reaction products show that all $K^+$ and $Ag^+$ ions have been reduced, and that all K^+$ atoms have left the zeolite. Cs or Rb species are found at three different crystallographic sites: 3.0 $Cs^+\;or\;3.0Rb^+$ ions per unit cell occupy 8-ring centers, ca. 8.0 $Cs^+ ions\;or\;5.7 Rb^+$ ions, are found on threefold axes opposite 6-rings deep in the large cavity, and ca. 2.5 $Cs^+\;or\;2.3 Rb^+ ions are found on threefold axes in the sodalite unit. Also, 1 $Rb^+$ ion lies opposite a 4-ring. Silver atoms, corresponding to 75% or 40% occupancy of hexasilver clusters stabilized by coordination to $Cs^+\;or\;Rb^+$ ions, are found at the centers of the large cavities. In the crystal structures of dehydrated Ag_{5.6}K_{6.4}-A$ reacted with Cs vapor, excess Cs atoms are absorbed and these form (locally) cationic clusters such as $(Cs_4)3^+\;and\;(Cs_6)4^+$.

  • Recently, the floor systems those require large open space may have low inherent damping due to the decline of the use of curtain walls. Furthermore, the use of the high strength materials has resulted in more flexible and longer spanning in floor systems. The long span structures such as shopping malls, offices and large assembly rooms may lead to significant dynamic response due to human activities. Excessive vibrations make the occupants uncomfortable and deteriorate the serviceability of buildings. It is now proved that footfall loading is the major source of floor vibrations. The common method of application of walking loads for the vibration analysis of structures subjected to walking loads is to inflict measured walking loads and periodic function at a node. But this method could not account for the moving effect of walking. In this study, natural frequency and damping ratio of example structure are evaluated by heel drop tests. And the application of equivalent walking loads is used for on efficient vibration analysis of the plate structures subjected to walking loads.

  • Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe and located in the densest peak of the dark matter. They can constraint cosmologicals model from their dark matter halo distribution and they are good laboratories to study how galaxy evolution varies with their environment. Especially, studies of galaxy clusters at $z{\geq}1$ are important because (i) galaxy evolution at z >1 is still controversial (Elbaz et al. 2007; Faloon et al. 2013) and (ii) some studies show that mass of galaxy clusters at z>1 seems to be higher than expected value from the concordance LCDM cosmological model (Kang & Im 2009; Gonzales et al. 2012). In spite of their significance, there have not been many studies of galaxy clusters at $z{\geq}1$ because of the lack of wide and deep multi-wavelength data. We newly found galaxy cluster candidates at 0.2 < z < 1.4 and a LSS spanning over 100Mpc at z~0.9 in the ELAIS-N1 field which is one of the IMS (Infrared Medium-deep Survey; Im et al. 2019, in preparation) fields. Thanks to K-GMT science program, we performed spectroscopic follow-up observation for a z~1 galaxy cluster candidates with GMOS of Gemini North and for z~0.9 supercluster candidates with Hectospec of MMT in 2018A and confirmed the large scale structures. We present the newly discovered galaxy overdensities from the observation and the analysis result.
