This is a case of the improvement work on National Route 2 in the Monzen area of Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture.
We will introduce a construction example of the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," which is made by crushing and sintering waste glass to create a foamed glass lightweight material, used as infill for U-shaped retaining walls.
This is part of the improvement work on National Route 2. Super Sol, which can reduce weight, was used as the infill material for the U-shaped retaining wall.
Lightweight materials were considered to reduce the load on the underground passage and waterway that cross beneath the national road. Initially, another material was planned for use, but due to concerns about dissolution from leaks of gasoline and other substances, Super Sol, an inorganic mineral material with low degradation from heat and oil, was adopted.
