Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention is directed to an outdoor ground or outdoor court. To This belongs to the technical field of construction methods, and more specifically, it is an outdoor ground or outdoor court that allows the deformation of the asphalt layer, which expands or contracts due to the different thermal expansion coefficients between the asphalt layer and the surface layer, and prevents the asphalt layer from swelling or cracking.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 4-85402 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The thermal expansion coefficients of the asphalt or concrete layer and the surface layer containing rubber chips or hard coat applied thereon are different. Therefore, as the surface layer is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time, the asphalt concrete layer will expand and contract.The asphalt concrete layer will also expand and contract due to the rise in temperature caused by global warming in recent years. As a result, since the surface layer is bonded to the asphalt concrete layer, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients causes the surface layer above the expanding and contracting asphalt concrete layer to bulge and crack. In this regard, the same problem occurs with the surface of the open grain asphalt concrete layer in Patent Document 1 and the rubber chip urethane layer laid over it.
[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to allow the deformation of the asphalt layer, which expands or contracts due to the different thermal expansion coefficients between the asphalt layer and the surface layer, and to prevent the asphalt layer from swelling or cracking, thereby producing a high-quality outdoor ground or outdoor court.

[Figure 6] This is a partially cutaway plan view of an outdoor court with an insulating sheet laid on top of an asphalt concrete layer with slits formed in it. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0014] The outdoor ground or outdoor court of the present invention To A preferred embodiment of the construction method will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, construction of an outdoor court 1 (for example, approximately 36 m long and approximately 20 m wide) suitable for a hard court such as a tennis court will be described, but construction can also be carried out on an outdoor ground in the same way (see Example 2 described later). The outdoor court 1 is completed through the steps shown in Figures 1 and 2 (see Figure 5).
[0015] <First Example> The outdoor court 1 in this embodiment is formed by forming a surface layer 5 including a hard coat on an asphalt or concrete asphalt layer 3 that prevents the asphalt layer 3 from swelling or cracking. That is, slits 30 having gaps that allow the asphalt concrete layer 3 to deform as it expands or contracts due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the asphalt concrete layer 3 and the surface layer 5 or due to global warming are formed on the upper surface 31 of the asphalt concrete layer 3, and an insulating sheet 4 is laid on top of the asphalt concrete layer 3 with the slits 30 formed thereon to separate the asphalt concrete layer 3 from the surface layer 5, and the surface layer 5 is formed on top of the insulating sheet 4. It is also possible to employ a configuration in which the insulating sheet 4 is not laid down (not shown).
[0016] Below, we will explain how to construct an outdoor court. FIG. 1 shows the stage of pouring an asphalt concrete layer 3 (first step). An asphalt or concrete layer 3 (40-70 mm thick) made of permeable asphalt or concrete is formed on a crushed stone base layer 6 (150 mm thick or more) that covers the entire area of the outdoor court 1 (see Figure 4). Note that a culvert (not shown) may be provided below the crushed stone base layer 6. The thermal expansion coefficient of the asphalt concrete layer 3 is approximately 25×10 −6 ° C. In contrast, the thermal expansion coefficient of the layer 5, which will be described later, is approximately 70×10 −6 ° C.
[0017] FIG. 2 shows the step of forming slits 30 in the asphalt concrete layer 3 (second step). As shown in Figure 6, the slits 30 are formed in advance on the top surface 31 of the asphalt concrete layer 3 to be poured over the entire area of the outdoor court 1 in a grid-like shape when viewed from above, with a predetermined depth. For example, the depth of the slits 30 is preferably about 10 mm, and the spacing between adjacent slits 30 is preferably about 250 mm. The slits 30 serve as a space for allowing deformation of the asphalt concrete layer 3 which expands or contracts due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the asphalt concrete layer 3 and the surface layer 5, etc. In this embodiment, the slits 30 are shown as being formed in a grid-like shape when viewed in a planar direction, but they can also be formed in various other planar shapes, such as vertical rows, parallel rows, diagonal lines, and circles.
[0018] FIG. 3 shows the stage of laying the insulating sheet 4 (third step). An insulating sheet 4 is laid on the asphalt concrete layer 3 with the slits 30 formed therein to separate the asphalt concrete layer 3 from the surface layer 5 (see FIG. 6). Note that the insulating sheet 4 is not bonded to the asphalt concrete layer 3. The insulating sheet 4 is preferably made of water-permeable (or non-water-permeable) rubber or acrylic, and is approximately 1 mm thick to ensure a certain degree of weight. Its size is about the same as that of the asphalt concrete layer 3 with the slits 30 formed in it.
[0019] 4 and 5 show the stage of forming the surface layer 5 (fourth step). On top of the insulating sheet 4 laid on the asphalt concrete layer 3, a base surface layer 5 (8 mm thick) is formed by adhering (bonding) to the insulating sheet 4. For the surface layer 5, for example, a thin base coat of paint is applied, and then a top coat layer of special resin paint is applied on top of that to form a hard coat. Thus, a high-quality outdoor court 1 is completed that allows deformation of the asphalt concrete layer 3, which expands or contracts due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the asphalt concrete layer 3 and the surface layer 5, and effectively prevents the asphalt concrete layer from swelling or cracking.
[0020] <Second Example> The surface layer 5 described above is an embodiment suitable for a hard-coat outdoor court 1, but a surface layer 5 containing rubber chips can also be implemented. In other words, even for an outdoor ground formed with a surface layer 1 made of rubber chips coated with urethane, by forming slits 30 on the upper surface 31 of the asphalt concrete layer 3 in the same manner as in the first embodiment above and then forming the surface layer 5 on top of that, a high-quality outdoor ground can be completed that effectively prevents the asphalt concrete layer 5 from swelling or cracking, just like the outdoor court 1.
[0021] Although the embodiments have been described above based on the drawings, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples and includes the range of design modifications and application variations that are normally made by those skilled in the art, provided that they do not deviate from the technical concept of the present invention.
