Structural Engineering and Materials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates structures that withstand extreme forces and environmentally friendly materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Structures that withstand extreme forces, built with new materials.
The Structural Engineering and Materials Lab (Cai Lab) builds its research on structural engineering, construction materials, and next-generation technologies such as AI.
The lab evaluates how well structures maintain their performance under extreme loads such as major earthquakes and impacts, and optimizes their design.
The lab also develops cement-based composite materials with a small environmental footprint, as well as advanced materials with added functions.
The lab is also engaged in AI-based assessment of structural safety and integrity, and in structural diagnosis.
Key terms
- Composite material
- A material made by combining materials with different properties to achieve performance that a single material cannot provide
- Seismic response
- How a building or other structure shakes and moves when subjected to earthquake ground motion
- Society 5.0
- Japan's vision of a future society that solves social problems by linking virtual space and physical space
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research centers on evaluating and optimizing the performance of structures under extreme loads, and on applying advanced materials to structural and materials engineering. It also works on AI-based assessment of structural safety and integrity, and on structural diagnosis.
