  • Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws SLR 02/10: Closing date for responses – 25 June 2010 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e.

  • Maintenance of ASR-Affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan
    Maintenance of ASR-affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan Mamoru Moriyama1, Masahiro Nomura2 Abstract Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure the safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, Japan. Sodium chloride, which accounts for the majority of deicers, has been causing damage to road concrete structures due to alkali-silica reaction. This report describes the current state of maintenance and repair techniques of these road structures affected by deicer-related alkali-silica reaction. Introduction Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, in Japan. The deicers used in this area have been mainly of sodium chloride (NaCl) type. In addition, the structures alongside the Japan sea coastline are subjected to monsoons, which increase its exposure to airborne chlorides from the sea. Therefore, these natural conditions set the road structures of the Hokuriku district in a permanent saline environment. As the effect of this chloride supply, the cases that alkali-silica reaction (ASR) deteriorates road structures have been increasing. On the other hand, river gravels and river sands have been used as concrete aggregates for a long time and these aggregates have been found in seriously ASR-affected structures. ASR has occurred mainly in structures primarily built from 1970 to 1985, a time when high alkali cement had been produced in Japan. Over the course of time, reactive river sands and gravels may not be properly assessed since these aggregates contain a wide variety of rock types, as well as different types and contents of reactive minerals. Central Nippon Expressway Company has covered the sections from Kinomoto IC (Shiga Prefecture) to Asahi IC (Toyama Prefecture) in Hokuriku Expressway and Oyabe-tonami JCT (Toyama Prefecture) to Shirakawago IC (Gifu Prefecture) in Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, a total of 300km (9-39 years in service).

  • Examples of Bridge Damage on Metropolitan Expressway Discovered by Emergency Structural Inspections After the Tohoku Earthquake
    EXAMPLES OF BRIDGE DAMAGE ON METROPOLITAN EXPRESSWAY DISCOVERED BY EMERGENCY STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS AFTER THE TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE Tsuyoshi KOSUGI 1 Takehiko HATSUKU 2 Masaru SHIMONISHI 3 Abstract The Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011 (Heisei 23) was observed to be seismic intensity 5 Upper by the JMA intensity scale even in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, which is more than 300 km from the epicenter. Even the Metropolitan Expressway took heavy damage centered on the coastal regions where the shaking was strong. In this article, we introduce the results of the emergency inspections of the Metropolitan Expressway conducted after the earthquake and examples of the damage discovered. From the bridge pier inspections targeting bearings and earthquake-resistance reinforcements, it is clearly necessary to focus on damage around bearings when elevated bridges have major curvature or inclination such as in junctions, as well as when piers are steel structures. In addition, considerable surface difference in level was observed in areas where the piers were constructed on reclaimed land, and the reason is thought cavities that occurred by land subsidence before the earthquake become larger as a result of the earthquake. 1. Introduction The world's largest magnitude 9.0 earthquake, with an epicenter off the Sanriku coast in the Pacific Ocean, struck Japan on March 11, 2011. Not only was there damage from the tremors of this earthquake's seismic motion, but Japan witnessed the greatest disaster in her history due to the effects from the giant tsunami that hit the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region. This earthquake was observed to be seismic intensity 5 Upper even in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, which is more than 300 km from the epicenter (Figure 1-1).
