							    Plank sheet is a corrugated steel plate, usually  used as a material of civil structures, floor or roof materials in architecture.  In this time, it is used as a constructional material  covering the platform without finishing. Because the steel surfaces are exposed,  it can be easily touched by users of station. To understand the temperature  incensement of plank sheet exposed to the sun in summer, an experimental  measurement was carried out by using the mock-up in  Kami Koshien campus in Mukogawa Women’s University. The measurement was  conducted in August 2012. The mock-up faced to  the south, in order to simulate the down platform in the south side which  received large heat loads by solar radiation. The surface temperatures of  several points (500 mm, 1000mm, 1500mm, and 2000mm above the ground) of each  direction were measured. In addition this, an experiment of water sprinkling to  decrease of the surface temperature was conducted from 8th of August 2012.

							  | The maximum temperature during the measurement  period was 49ºC. The daily maximum temperature was around 45ºC, which was measured between 10:30 AM and 14:00. The temperature of the east surface was highest in the  morning, and the temperatures of the south,  west, and north surfaces followed in descending order of the temperature. While  the temperature of the west surface was highest in the evening, and those of the  south, east and north followed. In the water sprinkling experiment was conducted  from 8th August, the 24-29ºC tap water was sprinkled from top side of the mock-up of the plank sheet. In each case, the surface  temperature of the north side, which is platform side, became constant in 5  minutes after starting sprinkling, and dropped to about 30ºC. It is prove that the small amount of tap-water  sprinkling is effective to decrease the surface temperature.
