Yoshitada MORI, Ikuo MAE and Masayuki KUNIMORI |
: Recently, steel tubular scaffolding panels or frames have produced in multitude of design and sizes, and have been used for supporting concrete bridge mold. However, it is not clear completely that the load carrying capacity of those panels or frames when they are part or towers having more than three lifts or tiers. It has been widely believed that the rupture of those structures may be caused by the buckling phenomena of the leg members. |
Stain of Window Glass and Preventive Measures

: It is well known that the room illumination decreases as the stain of window glass increases. Accordingly there is a close relation between the room illumination and the stain of window glass. This report is to show the types of the stains of window glass and their mechanism in various buildings. In the first chapter the writer describes, 1. Kinds of window glass and the respective stains, 2. Construction and angle of window glass, 3. Stain and durability, 4. Mechanism of stain. In the second chapter the stains of window glass are investigated in 258 cases. The degree of the stain of window glass is shown according to the following formula, |
Impact Strength of Wire Rope (2nd Report) --Effect of Clip Fitting--

: Following the first report, we studied the efficiency of clip fittings of wire rope. We tested it under static load, impact load and repeated load. We found that the ratio of holding strength to screw down load is 0.41 - 0.88 per one clip on the longitudinal fitting, and 1.62 - 2.90 on the eye. Number of clips and screw down load are the most important factor on clip fitting, but excessive screw down load weaken rope strength. Under impact load, fittings rather slip than break down, but hard rubbing parts of rope easily break down. Consequently we proposed the standard of clip fitting. |
