Building Structures Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the seismic performance of concrete buildings and seismic retrofitting technologies.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for sustainable architecture that is kind to people, the environment, and society
The Building Structures Lab studies the seismic performance of concrete structures.
The lab works on evaluating the seismic safety of existing low-strength concrete buildings, the bond between reinforcing bars and concrete, and the development of seismic retrofitting technologies.
The goal is to realize sustainable architecture that is kind to people, the environment, and society.
The information on the lab's website dates from around 2019.
Key terms
- Reinforced concrete
- A material in which concrete is reinforced with reinforcing bars placed inside it. It is used for members of building and civil engineering structures
- Bond
- The property by which reinforcing bars and concrete adhere to each other and transfer force between them. It affects the strength and ductility of members
- Vibration control and seismic isolation
- Technologies that protect buildings from earthquake shaking. Vibration control reduces the shaking, while seismic isolation makes it harder for the shaking to be transmitted to the building
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies the evaluation of the seismic performance of existing low-strength concrete buildings, the bond between reinforcing bars and concrete, and seismic retrofitting technologies for concrete structures. It aims to realize sustainable architecture that is kind to people, the environment, and society.
*Illustrative imageSeismic performance of low-strength concrete buildings
This research clarifies the mechanical performance of existing concrete buildings whose strength falls below the design standard strength. It aims to develop rational methods for evaluating seismic safety performance.
*Illustrative imageBond performance between reinforcing bars and concrete
This research examines the bond characteristics between reinforcing bars and concrete at both microscopic and macroscopic levels. Based on the mechanism of stress transfer, it aims to establish methods for evaluating the bond strength and ductility of reinforced concrete members.
*Illustrative imageSeismic retrofitting technologies for concrete structures
This research aims to ensure the safety of concrete structures with poor seismic performance. With the global environment, maintenance, recycling, and economic efficiency in view, it develops new seismic retrofitting, vibration control, and seismic isolation technologies.
