If the soil does not have sufficient bearing capacity, the load will be transferred away | Anchor Embedment Section
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The Iwakura City Summer Festival has been going on for a few days now. After work, I’ve been helping out with the yakisoba stand (though I don’t actually do anything there) and working as the shooting gallery attendant. (My main role is as the shooting gallery attendant.) I’m volunteering as part of an Iwakura City project. The festival…
Carefully Control the Protrusion | Anchor Head Dimensions
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s raining, isn’t it? (lol) As someone who’s known to bring rain, I don’t mind it, but the kids seem to be feeling a bit down ↓↓↓. They’re asking me to take them to the pool, so I’m heading there this afternoon. But anyway, back to the topic at hand… De! You’re working on rebar installation, right? When it comes to construction, the most important thing is…
Workability of PC Load-Bearing Panels | Ease of Installation on Site
Hello, everyone. It's Enta here. The weather's really nice today, lol. It makes me want to go out and have some fun, but I've got work to do. Lately, I've been totally hooked on Monster Hunter, so I spend my weekend nights playing that. Video games really make you lose track of time, don't they? lol Anyway, moving on to the topic at hand: the pressure plate that's a nightmare for anchor installers, the P…
A Look at Grade Adjustment | Food Review-Style Fantasies About Slopes vs. the Reality on Site
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I was watching the morning news and it occurred to me—there’s often a segment that’s kind of like a food review, isn’t there? I was thinking, “I wonder if they’d feature slope stabilization there too??” lol For example, “This cement slurry looks like it’ll provide just the right amount of strength~” “This slope…”
Back Surface Treatment of the Load-Bearing Plate | The Relationship Between Uneven Ground and the Zabuton Frame
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve reinforced the company’s door. It won’t open unless you cut through it with an angle grinder or an oxy-acetylene torch. (Laughs) I doubt any burglar would go to that much trouble, though… But anyway, when installing ground anchors, should you use a load-bearing plate or a retaining frame? If you use a retaining frame, the load-bearing…
Tips for Installing the Support Plate | The Secrets to Timing, Positioning, and Leveling
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The Obon holiday started a few days ago. As you might expect, traffic to this blog has dropped significantly, and I’ve been thinking, “Maybe I should take a break during Obon, too.” But no! I’ll keep posting on the blog even during the Obon holiday lol. I’m going to go play with my kids until I’m completely wiped out…
Tips for Spray-Applying Zabuton Frames | Leveling and Support Plate Strength
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Sometimes we install cushion frames to level out unevenness in load-bearing plates. It’s quite a hassle, but as far as leveling goes, it’s definitely the way to go right now. Who knows what the future holds, though!? *grin* The assembly part isn’t that big of a deal…
Weather Resistance of Polyethylene and Carbon Black | The Truth About 100-Year Durability
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Continuing from last time, here’s the leveling mat used on the underside of the load-bearing plate. The truth about its weather resistance has finally come to light! lol Claims that it’s “weather-resistant” have hardly been verified at all! However, as for cross-linked polyethylene, it is weather-resistant…
Perkatite-Processed Spacers | Eco-Prototype Trial at a Greening Site
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve got a project that requires some creativity, lol. At a landscaping site, there’s this eco-friendly, new, and interesting—or maybe just a little unusual—spacer. But I can’t really promote it widely just yet. It was well-received by the slope construction crew, lol. So, anyway… Our current…
