Building Structural Performance Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies building performance through the durability, repair, and strengthening of concrete.
AboutAbout the lab
Using concrete buildings safely for a long time.
The Building Structural Performance Lab conducts research in building structures, performance-based design, and seismic isolation.
Professor Hama specializes in concrete engineering and building materials and construction.
His listed areas of expertise also include concrete durability, cold-weather concreting (placing concrete in cold seasons), and building maintenance, repair, and strengthening.
Assistant Professor Ishii studies seismic isolation structures, which make earthquake shaking less likely to be transmitted to a building.
Key terms
- Performance-based design
- A design approach in which the performance required of a building, such as strength and usability, is set first and the building is then designed to meet it
- Cold-weather concreting
- Concrete placed during cold seasons, which requires care in materials and curing so that it does not freeze while hardening
- Seismic isolation
- A system in which devices that absorb shaking are placed between a building and the ground, making earthquake shaking less likely to be transmitted to the building
ResearchResearch themes
The research fields are building structures, performance-based design, and seismic isolation. On the faculty introduction page, Professor Hama's areas of expertise are listed as concrete engineering, building materials and construction, concrete durability, cold-weather concreting, maintenance, and repair and strengthening.
