Structural Safety Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how wind acts on buildings in order to create cities and buildings that withstand wind.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding wind forces to build structures that withstand wind
The Structural Safety Systems Lab studies the forces that wind exerts on structures and the design methods that resist them.
It investigates the wind response of structures that differ in form and scale, from small structures such as houses and agricultural greenhouses to large-span structures such as stadiums.
The lab also works on predicting strong-wind disasters caused by typhoons, downbursts, and other gusts, and on ways to reduce the damage.
It also studies the tsunami loads on oil tanks and tsunami-resistant design.
Key terms
- Wind response
- The shaking and deformation that occur in a building or structure under wind
- Wind-resistant design
- Design that determines the shape and members of a structure so that it does not fail even under strong wind
- Downburst
- A strong downdraft that blows down from a cumulonimbus cloud and causes sudden gusts at ground level
ResearchResearch themes
Focusing on the relationship between wind and cities and buildings, the lab studies everything from evaluating the wind response and wind loads of structures to wind-resistant design and the reduction of strong-wind disasters. It also works on tsunami loads on oil tanks and tsunami-resistant design.
