Building Production Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the mechanics and safety of steel and concrete structures, as well as traditional timber and brick masonry buildings.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the mechanics and safety of the structures that support buildings
The Building Production Lab studies, both theoretically and experimentally, the mechanical behavior and performance evaluation of concrete-filled steel tube structures and steel-concrete structures.
For traditional timber buildings and historic brick masonry buildings, the lab conducts research on safety assessment and on their conservation and use.
The lab belongs to the Department of Architecture in the School of Engineering and to the Department of Space Systems in the Graduate School of Human-Environment Studies.
Key terms
- Concrete-filled steel tube structure
- A structural system in which concrete is placed inside steel tubes
- Mechanical behavior
- How a structure or member behaves, such as its deformation and strength, when subjected to forces
- Brick masonry building
- A building whose walls and other elements are built by stacking bricks
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research focuses on structures made of steel and concrete, as well as traditional timber and historic brick masonry buildings. For the former, it clarifies mechanical behavior and evaluates performance; for the latter, it studies safety assessment and conservation and use.
