Point of the Proposed Technology

It is a carbon fiber rod that uses a thermoplastic resin. With this rod, end-part fixing, which was previously difficult, iseasily performed, and processing such as on-site bending is allowed. Utilizing its features of being light and strong,the product is expected to improve the workability of the conventional work and increase the productivity at theplant.

Effect(s)

Workability improvement, weight-savingof the whole work, cost reductionthrough elimination of heavy machinery,and long lifecycle

Conventional Technology

Developed as a substitute for steel (brace material) used for seismic strengthening material of building structures, etc.!

New Technology

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage	Commercialization Completed (already delivered: yes)
Intellectual Property Right	Yes
Joint Researchers (their role)	Kanazawa Institute of Technology: technical guidance, basic performance evaluation Industrial Research Institute of Ishikawa: technical guidance, property measurement Taniguchi Seityu K.K.: carbon fiber braid manufacturing (wire manufacturing) KOMATSU MATERE Co.,Ltd.: resin impregnation, twisted wire total manufacturing/development, sales
Example of Application	Seismic retrofitting of buildings, repair and reinforcement of concrete structures such as bridgesand roads
Technical Problems	Since it is not included in the items of designated materials under Article 37-2 of the Building Standards Act, it cannot be adopted to newlyconstructed buildings. Only repair and seismic strengthening of existing buildings are covered.Civil engineering applications can be used based on civil engineeringguidelines.
Collaborator needed to Improve	General construction contractors
