Takahashi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying structures that protect buildings and human lives, including vibration control, seismic isolation, and seismic retrofitting.
AboutAbout the lab
Protecting buildings and lives through research and practice at Tokyo University of Science.
The Takahashi Lab studies structural design, seismic design, and structural safety evaluation of buildings.
It also works on vibration control and seismic isolation technologies, as well as seismic assessment and retrofitting of existing buildings.
Through efforts such as seismic retrofitting of wooden houses aimed at reusing vacant houses, and through industry-academia collaboration, the lab also puts structural and disaster-prevention technologies into practical use in society.
Information about the lab is also introduced on the website of Science Structure Co., Ltd., a university-originated venture company whose chairman is the professor.
Key terms
- Vibration control
- Technology for controlling the shaking of a building. Devices such as oil dampers are built into the building.
- Seismic isolation
- Technology for reducing the shaking of a building during an earthquake.
- Aramid fiber
- A high-strength fiber material. In this lab, it is one of the new materials used for seismic retrofitting.

ResearchResearch themes
To protect buildings and human lives, the lab studies structural design, seismic design, and structural safety evaluation. In addition to vibration control, seismic isolation, and reinforcement of existing buildings, it works on seismic retrofitting of wooden houses to promote the reuse of vacant houses, and puts structural and disaster-prevention technologies into practical use in society through industry-academia collaboration.

The lab studies vibration control and seismic isolation technologies, seismic assessment and retrofitting of existing buildings, quantification of earthquake damage evaluation, and reinforcement techniques using new materials such as aramid fiber. It also works on seismic retrofitting of wooden houses aimed at reusing vacant houses.
