Building Structural Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that aims for earthquake-resistant buildings and studies technologies such as friction dampers.
AboutAbout the lab
Developing technologies that improve the seismic safety of buildings.
Professor Tomokazu Yoshioka's lab, in the field of building structures, researches the development of new technologies and construction methods that improve the seismic safety of buildings.
In particular, it works on increasing the friction of friction joints, developing new friction dampers, and developing new construction methods that use friction dampers to reduce earthquake damage.
In education, the professor teaches lectures and exercises on structural mechanics of buildings, seismic design, structural design of buildings, and earthquake disaster prevention, and supervises student research.
Key terms
- Friction damper
- A device that uses friction to reduce damage to buildings during earthquakes
- Damage level
- An index of how much damage a building has suffered in an earthquake
- Deep learning
- A machine learning method in which computers learn features from large amounts of data
ResearchResearch themes
The lab researches the development of new technologies and construction methods that improve the seismic safety of buildings. In addition to research on friction dampers, it works on evaluating earthquake damage.
*Illustrative imageSeismic Technology Using Friction Dampers
The lab works on increasing the friction of friction joints and developing new friction dampers. It also researches new construction methods that use friction dampers to reduce earthquake damage to buildings.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating Earthquake Damage and Using Images
The lab studies simple methods for evaluating the damage level and repair cost of apartment buildings hit by earthquakes. Recent papers deal with a method of estimating damage level from photos of earthquake damage using deep learning, and a method of measuring crack width from images.
