  • 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).

Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Caleb Swift Carter 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Place, Tradition and the Gods: Mt. Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries by Caleb Swift Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor William M. Bodiford, Chair This dissertation considers two intersecting aspects of premodern Japanese religions: the development of mountain-based religious systems and the formation of numinous sites. The first aspect focuses in particular on the historical emergence of a mountain religious school in Japan known as Shugendō. While previous scholarship often categorizes Shugendō as a form of folk religion, this designation tends to situate the school in overly broad terms that neglect its historical and regional stages of formation. In contrast, this project examines Shugendō through the investigation of a single site. Through a close reading of textual, epigraphical, and visual sources from Mt. Togakushi (in present-day Nagano Ken), I trace the development of Shugendō and other religious trends from roughly the thirteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. This study further differs from previous research insofar as it analyzes Shugendō as a concrete system of practices, doctrines, members, institutions, and identities.

  • Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City That Pursues Harmony
    Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City that Pursues Harmony between Conservation and Development- 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY’S BIODIVERSITY RESOURCES Geography The city of Kanazawa is located near the center of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is bordered to the north by the Noto Peninsula and to the west by the Sea of Japan, with its coast covered by sand dunes which extend north into the famous Uchinada Dune. Mt. Okuiozen (939 m) and other mountainous areas to the east separate the city from neighboring Toyama Prefecture, while mountains in the southeast rise to altitudes of over 1,500 m above the sea level, with Mt. Naradake (1,644 m) being the highest peak within the metropolitan area. Kanazawa‟s most important watercourses, the Sai and Asano Rivers, have their sources in these mountain systems, from where they flow towards the Sea of Japan, dividing the city into 3 plateaus. Further downstream, the Sai River divides the plains to the west of the city into a northern and a southern area, with different characteristics. The northern area is an alluvial plain formed by deposits of gravel, sand, clay and silt, which have been transported by the Sai, Asano, Kanakusari and Morishita Rivers. It is characterized by low humidity and mild slopes and contains the largest body of stagnant water in Ishikawa Prefecture, the Kahoku Lagoon (4.13 km2). On the other hand, the southern plain represents the northeastern part of the alluvial fan formed by Tedori River, the longest river in the prefecture, having a more hilly structure than the northern plain.
