Our original products employing hybrid materials help address a host of vital needs. These include a rubber steel and an innovative bridge restrainer system developed to reduce earthquake disasters, structure protection materials for soil and water conservation projects, and waterproofing equipment against flood disasters. Here, we would like to introduce you Rubber Steel, one of our original disaster prevention products used for concrete structures at rivers, streams, canals, waterways, dams, seasides and coasts.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Protective layers for concrete structures including debris barriers. \n Japanese rivers have a steep gradient and are thus susceptible to sediment disaster following heavy rains, which often take a toll on people\u2019s lives and assets. One such sediment disaster is debris flow that flushes boulders down the river. It was to prevent such disasters that debris barriers were constructed throughout Japan as a part of erosion control projects.\n <\/p>\n \n Concern arose, however, over the reduced performance of barriers caused by concrete structures having worn out after being subjected to repeated erosion from sediment flow.\n <\/p>\n \n Shibata\u2019s answer to the problem was the development of Rubber Steel, a composite material made by integrating rubber and steel plates to attach to concrete surfaces. Focusing our activities on the impact of debris flow, the cause of concrete structures wearing out, we developed the protective layer.\n <\/p>\n Debris flow<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Worn-out debris barrier<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Illustrated cross-section of Rubber Steel<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl><\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Civil Engineering Products Civil Engineering Products Shibata undertakes to protect livelihoods and national l […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":23,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"class_list":["post-16","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-products"],"yoast_head":"\nRubber Steel, Sabo-related Product<\/h4>\n
