Building system for a composite steel-timber structure

One approach to promote forest growth is the pruning and thinning of trees. In the field of building structure, it is necessary to use thinned woods as timber positively. However, timber is too weak to apply to the large-scale buildings. Research and development of a building system to use timber are demanded. Authors propose composite steel-timber structure aiming to spread wood to building construction field considering the global environment. First, distribution volumes of planted forest of each age forest class in Japan and its CO2 fixation are shown, investigating forest resources. Finally, the specific example of a composite steel-timber structure is shown and CO2 fixation at building structure model using a composite steel-timber structure is estimated.

Composite Steel

In the field of building construction, mass consumption of wood materials contributes to reforestation and becomes the environmental burden reduction. However, an application to conventional timber structures only such as house has a quantitative limit. A newly developed timber structure that is able to make a large-scale building is expected. A composite steel-timber structure will be one of the effective methods to expand the structural variations. In this paper, the bending test of composite steel-timber beam classified typical joint methods is conducted to grasp basic structural performance.

Critiquing Systems

SummaryThis paper describes a “system-building system”, ESSENTIAL-ATTENDING (E-ATTEND-ING), designed to assist in the implementation of expert systems which critique a physician’s plan for patient care. E-ATTENDING has been refined during the implementation of several developmental critiquing systems and may be applied in areas of medical management, patient workup, and differential diagnosis. E-ATTENDING is currently designed to help implement a class of critiquing systems in a subset of possible critiquing domains. It can also be augmented in various ways by interested users to accommodate critiquing domains with more complexity.
