A lab researching vibration control and seismic isolation technologies to protect timber buildings from earthquakes.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring technologies to protect timber buildings from earthquakes
Miyazu Lab studies technologies for creating buildings that are safe against earthquakes, mainly targeting timber buildings.
The lab works on developing vibration control and seismic isolation technologies, clarifying how buildings shake during earthquakes, and rationalizing structural systems.
The lab also develops seismic technologies suited not only to wooden houses but also to mid-rise and high-rise timber buildings, which are expected to increase in the future.
Key terms
- Vibration control and seismic isolation
- Technology that reduces a building's shaking (vibration control) and technology that makes ground shaking less likely to be transmitted to the building (seismic isolation).
- System identification
- A method that estimates a building's vibration characteristics based on, for example, records of its shaking.
- Optimization
- A method that uses computation to find the best design or layout under given conditions.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on improving the seismic performance of buildings, especially timber buildings. It also researches how to rationalize building structures using optimization techniques and artificial intelligence techniques.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of vibration control and seismic isolation technologies
To improve safety against earthquakes, the lab develops vibration control, seismic isolation, and seismic resistance technologies. The main target is timber buildings.
*Illustrative imageClarifying how buildings shake during earthquakes
Using a method called system identification, the lab works to clarify how buildings shake when an earthquake occurs.
*Illustrative imageRationalizing structural systems
Using optimization methods, the lab works on rationalizing various structural systems.
