Experimental Study On The Behavior Of Concrete Structural Elements In Natural Sea Water

In this experimental study some measurements and their analysis are presented concerning the polluted water effluent disposal in the sea water. The wastes are disposed through the round openings of a submerged in the sea diffuser, in the form of turbulent jets which are mixing (diffusing) with the sea water. Three inclination angles (to the vertical) of the jets are examined, ö=15°-45°-75°, and at any angle three Froude numbers are also examined, Fro=4.8-17-25.3. The results are combined with previous results by the author for 90°≤φ≤150°.

Construction Accidents

Accidents from falls are a serious problem in the construction industry in Japan, where approximately 40% of fatal construction accidents are caused by falls. FRP inspection platforms are used for fall protection during bridge maintenance and management works. These structural elements are usually set on the side of an abutment for the inspection of the joint located between the abutment and a bridge girder. The hook of a safety belt is then fastened onto the guardrail of a platform when work is executed at a high location. Nevertheless, the degree of platform safety remains uncertain because of the properties of the FRP platform. In this study, therefore, the safety of a platform was experimentally confirmed through the use of 75-and 85-kg sandbags and a 100-kg human dummy. Results show that platform safety improved, as indicated by the sandbags remaining firmly attached to the hook latched onto a platform railing when they were dropped during the experiment.
