    Reviewing its self image and redefining its role as a regional power : contemporary Japan and international population movement

    What sort of change in policy may be possible if a state reviewed its structural conditions and the significance of its own power with regard to other actors in international relations? This paper asks this question with regard to contemporary Japan’s policy towards an issue arising from the arrival of migrants in post-Cold War years, in particular whether to provide safety to migrants within the country. Japan used to be ‘a country without migration’ until the 1970s, but from the 1980s onwards has been in transition to be a key destination for international population movement (IPM). This paper surveys the literature on Japan’s international relations, examines theories of IPM, and describes the history of modern Japan focusing particular attention on its experiences of international migration. If Japan did not provide a safe environment for migrants, that would be questionable as being a differential form of treatment. What obstructs the provision of safety is a world view informed by an atomistic view of international relations and an understanding of history which is only focused on a limited time period. In contrast, what can contribute to reducing such a barrier will be a combination of natural law thinking, a relational view of international relations, an understanding of history with a time frame over several decades, and a recognition that current IPM is a reflection of Japan’s economic power in the neighbouring regio

    建築学会規準では耐震壁として扱わない,開口周比が0.4を上回る壁が既存建物には多く存在し,建物の耐震性能を評価する上で問題となっている。本研究では,開口周比が0.4前後で開口が偏在し,かつ多層に渡る連層耐震壁の静的載荷実験を行い,そのせん断性状を評価した。せん断耐力・剛性について,既往の設計式を用いて算出し,実験結果と比較・検討を行った結果,開口周比が0.4を上回る試験体においても,せん断耐力・剛性を精度良く評価することができた。またFEM解析により,開口周比が0.4以下の比較的開口の小さなものについては,実験で得られた履歴復元力特性の包絡線を精度良く予測することができた。Multi-story RC structural walls often have openings for architectural reasons. However, it's difficult to evaluate the shear capacity and stiffness of them since the shear resisting mechanism has not been clarified. The Japanese building design standard and guidelines employ strength and stiffness reduction factors computed from the size of openings. The reduction factors are easy to use but do not reflect the location of openings. It is necessary to propose the model based on the shear resisting mechanisms. In this study, a finite element model was developed and the behavior of the structural walls with staggered openings was studied. The model was first calibrated using the experimental data on walls with eccentric openings and used to predict the behaviour of RC structural walls with staggered openings. If openings are staggered, damage around the openings inhibits the sound formation of the compression strut resulting in the degradation of the lateral load carrying capacity.建築学会規準では耐震壁として扱わない,開口周比が0.4を上回る壁が既存建物には多く存在し,建物の耐震性能を評価する上で問題となっている。本研究では,開口周比が0.4前後で開口が偏在し,かつ多層に渡る連層耐震壁の静的載荷実験を行い,そのせん断性状を評価した。せん断耐力・剛性について,既往の設計式を用いて算出し,実験結果と比較・検討を行った結果,開口周比が0.4を上回る試験体においても,せん断耐力・剛性を精度良く評価することができた。またFEM解析により,開口周比が0.4以下の比較的開口の小さなものについては,実験で得られた履歴復元力特性の包絡線を精度良く予測することができた。Multi-story RC structural walls often have openings for architectural reasons.
