Structural engineering system Laboratory

Exploring state-of-the-art architectural structural systems, which serve as foundations of urban cities and towns

At the Structural Engineering System Laboratory, we conduct research on the latest structural systems of ultra strength concrete (steel fiber reinforcement), ultra strength concrete-filled tubes (CFT) and precast concrete. Such systems will be the foundations for architecture, urban cities and the environment. In addition, we are pushing ahead with research on materials recycled from waste in collaboration with main regional industries from global perspectives. Moreover, our laboratory aims to foster next-generation human resources by having students proactively engaged in the cutting-edge research.

This lab is for this SDG activity:

  • 産業と技術革新の基盤をつくろう
  • 住み続けられるまちづくりを
  • つくる責任つかう責任

STUDY FIELDS

  • Architecture
  • Civil engineering
  • Materials science and engineering
  • Urban engineering

FOR SOCIETY

We hope to make the state-of-the-art architectural structural systems useful for building the foundations of urban cities and towns by taking global viewpoints. Then we would like to expand the scope of our activity from Japanese towns and cities to the global stage, mainly Asia and Oceania regions.

RESEARCH THEMES

  • Research on the recovery properties of parts made with reinforced concrete
  • Experiments on the strength of the precast concrete bonding sections
  • Research on the methods to design pillars made of high-strength CFT and their historical developments
  • Basic research on steel fiber reinforced concrete
