Structure overview:The Washimi Bridge (Phase II) is a 490.0m long bridge on the Tokai-Hokuriku expressway. It was designed to run adjacent to the current Phase I bridge spanning a deep valley, using a four-span continuous rigid frame prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) box girder design with corrugated steel webs on three tall piers, the tallest of which is 125 m high and the best height in Japan. Because the bridge is in a heavy snowfall region with severe weather conditions during construction, the rapid construction method was adopted in order to utilize precast elements during construction of the bridge piers. To speed up the construction of the superstructure, the rapid construction of corrugated steel webs method was used. This method boosts construction efficiency by installing the form traveler on the corrugated steel panels and enabling construction to progress on several blocks simultaneously. Provider:Central Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd Design:Japan Bridge & Structure Institute, Inc Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd Construction:Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd ● The Second Komono Viaduct on the Shin-Meishin Expressway Location:Komono-cho , Mie Outline of Structure:The Second Komono Viaduct is a 19-span, 1,103-meter-long viaduct comprised of a 3-span prestressed reinforced concrete continuous extradosed bridge, sandwiched by two continuous box-girder bridges with 5 spans and 11 spans. Concerning the design, an attractive appearance of the sub- and super-structure was importantin determining the form.

This diagram shows the increase in the number of dams which are higher than 15 m. Before 1900, we had about seven hundred irrigation dams. We started our modern dam construction in the end of the 19th century. The first masonry concrete gravity dam was completed in the year 1900. In those early days, the irrigation dams dominated in numbers, and hydropower and multipurpose dams increased later on2.

  • (News Release) the Results of Radioactive Material Monitoring of the Surface Water Bodies Within Gunma Prefecture (October-December Samples)
    (News Release) The Results of Radioactive Material Monitoring of the Surface Water Bodies within Gunma Prefecture (October-December Samples) Friday, March 1, 2013 Water Environment Division, Environment Management Bureau, Ministry of the Environment Direct line: 03-5521-8316 Switchboard: 03-3581-3351 Director: Tadashi Kitamura (ext. 6610) Deputy Director: Tetsuo Furuta (ext. 6614) Coordinator: Katsuhiko Sato (ext. 6628) In accordance with the Comprehensive Radiation Monitoring Plan determined by the Monitoring Coordination Meeting, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) is continuing to monitor radioactive materials in water environments (surface water bodies (rivers, lakes and headwaters, and coasts), etc.). Samples taken from the surface water bodies of Gunma Prefecture during the period of October 8-December 19, 2012 have been measured as part of MOE’s efforts to monitor radioactive materials; the results have recently been compiled and are released here. The monitoring results of radioactive materials in surface water bodies carried out to date can be found at the following web page: http://www.env.go.jp/jishin/rmp.html#monitoring 1. Survey Overview (1) Survey Locations 70 environmental reference points, etc. in the surface water bodies within Gunma Prefecture (Rivers: 48 locations, Lakes: 22 locations) (2) Survey Method ・ Measurement of concentrations of radioactive materials (radioactive cesium (Cs-134 and Cs-137), etc.) in water and sediment ・ Measurement of concentrations of radioactive materials and spatial dose-rate in soil in the surrounding environment of water and sediment sample collection points (river terraces, etc.) 2.

    Ⅷ LECTURE NOTES Ⅷ-1 Water-related disaster management for adaptation to climate change Dr. Kuniyoshi TAKEUCHI Director, The International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM), PWRI Water-related Disaster Management for Adaptation to Climate Change Kuniyoshi Takeuchi International Center for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM) Public Works Research Institute (PWRI), Tsukuba, Japan Abstract Climate change is not a matter of future but of now. Human being is experiencing more frequent and more intensified hydro-meteorological extremes all over the world. The consequences are especially tragic in developing countries where infrastructure construction and management capacity development are behind. Disasters ruin development efforts. There is no magic solution. But a mere continuation of the current exercise is not allowed and a major paradigm shift is necessary. Human has to reconstruct our way of living with nature. The combination between structural and non-structural means under the concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM) is necessary. Although there are various strong trials, it is not an easy matter at all. It is absolutely necessary to mainstream the water-related disaster management in decision making at all levels from the national government to localities. Climate change is definitely the major agenda of the 21st century. There are some examples already emerging for adaptation to climate change especially against sea level rise. The paper reviews the recent reports by OECD, IPCC and River Bureau of Japan and shows some efforts that support the new way of living with floods that have been exercised by ICHARM such as global flood alert system, flood hazard mapping, capacity building etc.
