As deep decks are commonly used in construction fields and high-rise building. etc, the slim floor system is increasingly employed. But, the drawback of the slim floor system is that the use of 250 mm deep decks in a structure having a clear span of more than 6 m because of deflection and flexural buckling. This study suggests a non-support construction method where tendons are installed in the deep decks of the slim floor structure to introduce preload in order to control deflection in a structure having a clear span of 9 m. Loading tests were conducted to verify the composite effect and flexural capacity of the preloaded deep deck composite slab and evaluate the serviceability of the supportless construction method. The results showed the complete composite behavior of the preloaded deep deck composite slab with tendons. The specimens satisfied deflection limit and the working load was approximately 25% of the maximum load capacity. It is deemed that the cross-sectional area and yield strength of the deck plate should be taken into account in slab design and the yield strength and diameter of the tendon should be determined with the pre-tension taken into consideration.

This study, a preliminary one to construction of standardized rural resources evaluation system, aimed at catching the valuing structure of rural and urban residents cn rural resources through interview. The questionnaire employed in our surveys was focussed on; opinion about the advantages and disadvantages of living in rural areas, usual impression on rural life style, viewpoint on preservation of cultural heritages and conservation of natural environments, priority item listing for improvement/development of rural village. Generally, regardless of interviewee's personal characteristics, the peaceful and comfortable life in the lovely/clean environment was indicated as a representative advantage of rural life. However, in minor aspects, there were recognizable differences by their living and thinking patterns, so, a deep and systematic study should be progressed to harmonize or integrate the pluralistic valuing trends on rural affairs in future. The valuing structure on rural resources from this study showed much more varieties according to age-and occupation-groups, while young generation strongly hold self-orii-ented and ambiguous thinking. Because this trend will grow more deeply and widely in future, the resoruces evaluation system for rural purposes should be established as a rational base for decision-making on rural development strategies.

Traditional base isolation systems focus on isolating the seismic response of a structure in the horizontal direction. However, in regions where the vertical earthquake excitation is significant (such as near-fault region), a traditional base-isolated building exhibits a significant vertical vibration. To eliminate this shortcoming, a rocking-isolated system named Telescopic Column (TC) is proposed in this paper. Detailed rocking and isolation mechanism of the TC system is presented. The seismic performance of the TC is compared with the traditional elastomeric bearing (EB) and friction pendulum (FP) base-isolated systems. A 4-storey reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame (RC-MRF) is selected as the reference superstructure. The seismic response of the reference superstructure in terms of column axial forces, base shears, floor accelerations, inter-storey drift ratios (IDR) and collapse margin ratios (CMRs) are evaluated using OpenSees. The results of the nonlinear dynamic analysis subjected to multi-directional earthquake excitations show that the superstructure equipped with the newly proposed TC is more resilient and exhibits a superior response with higher margin of safety against collapse when compared with the same superstructure with the traditional base-isolation (BI) system.

This paper presents the structural design and response control system of the JR MEGURO MARC building, a 70 meters high office building with steel structure located in Tokyo (Figure 1). In order to achieve high earthquake resistance and useable office space, this building integrates a centralized response control system with deformation amplification mechanisms and tuned viscous mass dampers on the lower floor. Moreover, buckling-restrained braces (BRB) are installed on the upper floors to increase the effectiveness of centralized response control system and to reduce damage of the main frames in the event of a major earthquake. It features an efficient centralized response control system by amplifying the deformation of the dampers without creating a soft story.

In this paper we apply Monte Carlo Filter to identifying dynamic parameters of structural systems and improve the efficiency of this algorithm. The algorithms using Monte Carlo Filter so far has not been practical to apply to structural identification for large scale structural systems because computation time increases exponentially as the degrees of freedom of the system increase. To overcome this problem, we developed a method being able to reduce number of particles which express possible structural response state vector. In MCF there are two steps which are the prediction and filtering processes. The idea is very simple. The prediction process remains intact but the filtering process is conducted at each node of structural system in the proposed method. We named this algorithm as relaxation Monte Carlo Filter (RMCF) and demonstrate its efficiency to identify large degree of freedom systems. Moreover to increase searching field and speed up convergence time of structural parameters we proposed an algorithm combining the Genetic Algorithm with RMCF and named GARMCF. Using shaking table test data of a model structure we also demonstrate the efficiency of proposed algorithm.

This paper introduces a mobile robotic system being developed for urban search and rescue. In order to search human victims in narrow spaces, we developed two types of serially linked mobile robots, named KAEROT-Centipede and KAEROT-SnakeTV1, that can climb over large vertical steps or travel inside narrow vertical pipes. To send such mobile robots to the disaster areas coping with large obstacles, we also developed a assistant mobile robot, named KAEROT-QuadTrack, that has 4 articulated track modules. This paper describes the mechanical structure and control architecture of the serially linked mobile robots and the supporting configuration for torque reduction of the assistant mobile robot during spinning motion that usually requires large driving torque. The experimental results show that such robotic systems have good mobility over the various terrains in disaster areas.

A novel state of health estimation method for hybrid electric vehicle lithium battery using sliding mode observer has been presented. A simple R-C circuit method has been used for the lithium battery modeling for the reduced calculation time and system resources due to the simple matrix operations. The modeling errors of simple model are compensated by the sliding mode observer. The design methodology for state of health estimation using dual sliding mode observer has been presented in step by step. The structure of the proposed system is simple and easy to implement, but it shows robust control property against modeling errors and temperature variations. The convergence of proposed observer system has been proved by the Lyapunov inequality equation and the performance of system has been verified by the sequence of urban dynamometer driving schedule test. The test results show the proposed observer system has superior tracking performance with reduced calculation time under the real driving environments.
