Structural Engineering Laboratory
For safe future where people can live with a peace of mind
Many architectural buildings made with reinforced concrete have been constructed in modern era. Examining the mechanism of failures in reinforced concrete structures has progressed in recent years, but there are unknown areas still remain in the mechanism. We are making pillars, beams and sections bonding pillars and beams and actually applying force on them as part of experiments and analyses. Based on the research results, we are making proposals on methods to design earthquake-resistance structures for making a better living environment where people can live with a peace of mind.
This lab is for this SDG activity:
STUDY FIELDS
- Architecture
- Physics
- Engineering and design
FOR SOCIETY
Many stylish buildings have been designed in recent years. We will help develop technologies to equip robust earthquake resistance capabilities to buildings without compromising the excellent designs.
RESEARCH THEMES
- Research on methods to design pile caps
- Evaluation of seismic performance of crimped joints of precast, prestressed concrete
- Performance evaluation of areas bonding pillars and beams made of reinforced concrete
