Japanese earthquake-resistant technology

In Japan, the Building Standards Law has been strictly reviewed every time a large earthquake occurred in the past. Therefore, it is said that the collapse rate of Japanese buildings when hit by a large earthquake is extremely low compared to other countries.

Construction method for protecting buildings

Earthquake-resistance < Vibration control < Base isolation system

base isolation sysytem

In Japan, where there are many earthquakes, it has been reported that the performance of base isolation is higher than the other two for each major earthquake. (Although the cost of seismic isolation will of course be higher) Today, more than 4100 base isolation sysytem buildings have been constructed.

Concrete production in Japan

Japan is blessed with mines that produce high quality limestone, and the raw materials for cement production are 100% domestic.
Quality of concrete tend to depending on the method of construction and management.
Carefully made concrete can exhibit excellent durability, but if you make a mistake in the method, it will be inferior.

New concrete : “Eien” product life is 10,000 years
"Eien" is a precast concrete jointly developed by KAJIMA CORPORATION with other companies.
“EIEN” is made by mixing special materials with concrete. The surface of Eien reacted with carbonate ions is very smooth. This smooth surface prevents groundwater and salt penetration. And it improves the durability of concrete.
(The concrete of ancient Rome existed now are believed to have been healthy for thousands of years because of their chemical stability through carbonation. "EIEN" is a technology that reflects the results of ancient concrete surveys in modern cutting-edge concrete technology.)

"Shell-type bench" = 3D printer x concrete
In December 2019, OBAYASHI CORPORATION completed a huge shell-type bench using cement-based materials with a 3D printer. The design of the shell-type bench takes advantage of the features of the 3D printer and incorporates curved surfaces and hollows. And approximately 50% lighter by topology optimization. (Size : 7m wide, 5m deep, 2.5m high)

"Zero Shrink" = Concrete with a Superior Appearance
The causes of concrete cracks and water leakage is its property of shrinkage as it dries after hardening.
Zero Shrin developed by SHIMIZU CORPORATION is a type of concrete with an ultra-low degree of shrinkage that reduces net shrinkage to zero.
Zero Shrink not only prevents shrinkage when drying to the extent possible, it makes up for the minimal unavoidable shrinkage in advance by the initial expansionary effect of an expansive additive.
