Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's definitely the end of the fiscal year!
It's such a chaotic mess right now—it's really tough, lol.
And just then, this arrived!
It's a book from about 20 years ago, but it actually contains some really useful information.
It's pretty niche, I know (lol)
If this were me 20 years ago, I definitely wouldn't have read it.
There are all kinds of technical books out there. Even the older ones feel fresh all over again now that they’ve come full circle!
The slope maintenance business hasn't changed much in the past 20 years either.
It's just like switching from a word processor to a personal computer.
From Drafting to CAD
From Photo Albums to Digital Photo Albums
From Film Cameras to Digital
From Paper to Data
What about the technology? Surprisingly, it hasn't changed that much since then.
The reason is that, in civil engineering, experience has been quantified, so while the accuracy of those verified figures has improved, the average values haven’t changed all that much.
What about the construction management standards from 20 years ago? Have they changed??
It probably hasn't changed much.
Although unnecessary administrative tasks have increased, this is also something that has grown out of experience.
The reason why it's increasing is that,Because there are cases of fraud and defectsThat's it.
That's how we quantify experience points—by having them increase and decrease in this way.
The contents of the “Concrete Construction Pocket Book” mentioned above haven’t changed much from today—perhaps the only difference is that machinery performance has improved?
It's still perfectly usable.
There was just one tiny part I really wanted to know about, lol... but that's a secret!
I'll teach you if I get the chance (lol). It doesn't look like it'll happen anytime soon, but I'd like to try it out at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism this winter!
See you later.
