Research Abstract |
In Japan, various government authorities and public housing corporations built a huge number of dwellings for rent to reconstruct war-damaged cities and to accommodate the high concentrations of population in urban areas in the mass-housing era between 1955 and 1973. Approximately 40% of all public residential buildings for rent in Japan were constructed in the latter mass-housing era (1965-1973). These are four- or five-story reinforced concrete buildings whose building frames are sufficiently strong to withstand several decades' more use but whose interior finishings and functional systems are deteriorating. In addition, these dwelling unit is now too small because the dwelling units are separated into small spaces by the structural walls and beams. The porpose of this research is to develop technologies for regenarating a dwelling unit one-by-one in these deteriorating residential buildings by removing structural walls and beams made of reinforced concretes.
