Construction material technology supporting social infrastructure
Steel products play an important role as construction materials by taking advantage of a number of outstanding features, which include easy formability, high strength combined with high earthquake resistance based on excellent plastic deformation performance, recyclability and so forth. JFE Steel and its group companies have been developing construction materials which respond to diverse social needs, including changes in the construction environment (low noise, low vibration), advanced earthquake resistance requirements occasioned by the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, reduced construction costs, and environment-friendliness, and have commercialized a large number of products. This paper describes an outline of representative new construction products and JFE Steel's approach to product development based on trends and needs in the social environment, focusing on 'Only 1' and 'No 1' products. The main topics are: 1) construction materials for civil engineering, including highways and railways, ports and harbors, mountain improvement works, building foundations, 2) building materials, such as high performance steel plates, tubular products for diverse needs, large section/high strength wide flange H-shapes, and high earthquake resistance construction methods, 3) environment-friendly construction products, such as recycled slag, concrete forms manufactured from recycled resin, 4) high strength shear reinforcing bars for improved earthquake resistance.
