A concrete structure body includes a first concrete member having a first facing surface; a second concrete member having a second facing surface and disposed such that the first facing surface and the second facing surface face each other; a connection portion that fills a gap between the first facing surface and the second facing surface; and a tendon disposed in the connection portion to extend along the first facing surface and the second facing surface and to which a tensile force is applied in a longitudinal direction.

Concrete structure body and manufacturing method thereof

A concrete structure includes a first concrete member, a second concrete member, a sheath that is disposed in a through hole extending from the first concrete member to the second concrete member, a tension part that is inserted over the entire length of the sheath and that is subjected to a tensile force, a fixing tool that fixes the tension part to the first concrete member or the second concrete member, and an anticorrosion part that covers the fixing tool. The tension part includes a stranded wire part and a first cover that covers an outer periphery of the stranded wire part. A space between the sheath and the tension part is not filled with a grout material.

This invention provides a high-strength PC steel wire having a chemical composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.90 to 1.10%, Si: 0.80 to 1.50%, Mn: 0.30 to 0.70%, P: 0.030% or less, S: 0.030% or less, Al: 0.010 to 0.070%, N: 0.0010 to 0.010%, Cr: 0 to 0.50%, V: 0 to 0.10%, B: 0 to 0.005%, Ni: 0 to 1.0%, Cu: 0 to 0.50%, and the balance: Fe and impurities. A ratio between the Vickers hardness (Hv) at a location (surface layer) that is 0.1D [D: diameter of steel wire] from the surface of the steel wire and the Vickers hardness (Hv) of a region on the inner side relative to the surface layer satisfies the formula [1.10&#x3c;Hv/Hv&#x2264;1.15]. An average carbon concentration in a region from the surface to a depth of 10 &#x3bc;m (outermost layer region) of the steel wire is 0.8 times or less a carbon concentration of the steel wire. The steel micro-structure in the region on the inner side relative to the outermost layer region contains, in area %, a pearlite structure: 95% or more. The tensile strength of the steel wire is 2000 to 2400 MPa. The method of producing this high-strength PC steel wire is simple, and the high-strength PC steel wire is excellent in delayed fracture resistance characteristics.

A pregrouted PC steel material () includes a 19-wire-twisted PC strand (), a pregrouted layer () disposed on an outer periphery of the PC strand (), and a sheath () configured to cover an outer periphery of the pregrouted layer (). A filling resin () is filled between steel wires (side wires) (). Since the filling resin () does not exude to the pregrouted layer () before tensioning of the PC strand (), an operation of tensioning the PC strand () is not hindered by curing of the pregrouted layer (). In contrast, since the gap between the steel wires is reduced when the PC strand () is tensioned, the filling resin () flows out (exudes) from between the steel wires to the pregrouted layer () to cure the pregrouted layer () only after the reduction.

Pregrouted PC steel material and curing method for pregrouted layer therein

Provided is a pregrouted PC steel material comprising a PC steel stranded wire composed of a plurality of steel wires, a pregrout layer disposed on the outer periphery of the PC steel stranded wire so as to accommodate the PC steel stranded wire, a sheath covering the outer periphery of the pregrout layer, and a capsule including a pregrout-hardening agent and a film with which the agent is covered, the capsule being interposed among the steel wires constituting the PC steel stranded wire. The capsule has a strength such that the capsule is not broken before tensioning the PC steel stranded wire but is broken by a tensile force during the tensioning. Also provided is a method for hardening the pregrout layer.

Pregrouted PC steel material and method for hardening pregrout layer thereof

An image processor includes an encoder that performs encoding including quantization on an image signal and a controller that controls a quantization parameter for quantization. The controller determines a quantization parameter of a currently target macroblock as an increase or decrease from a reference value, and determines the increase or decrease based on a difference between a target amount of code for a predetermined number of macroblocks fewer than a total number of macroblocks within one frame and a generated amount of code of the predetermined number of macroblocks processed immediately before. The controller can further determine the increase or decrease, based on pixel information of the currently target macroblock such as an activity evaluation value.

Image processor for code amount control

An image processor that achieves reduction in delay amount, in comparison with code amount control GOP by GOP or frame by frame. The controller includes a first processing unit that obtains a generated amount of code used for a first predetermined number of immediately preceding macroblocks, a second processing unit that obtains an allowable amount of code available for a third predetermined number of immediately subsequent macroblocks including a currently target macroblock, based on a target amount of code for not more than a second predetermined number of macroblocks less than a total number of macroblocks included in one frame, and the generated amount of code obtained by the first processing unit, a third processing unit that obtains an expected amount of code expected to be used for the third predetermined number of macroblocks, and a fourth processing unit that sets a quantization parameter of a currently target macroblock, based on the allowable amount of code obtained by the second processing unit and the expected amount of code obtained by the third processing unit.
