Kinugasa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies seismic design of buildings and urban disaster prevention.

AboutAbout the lab
Buildings and cities, prepared for earthquakes.
The Kinugasa Lab studies seismic design, urban disaster prevention, and concrete structures in the field of building structures and materials.
Its research keywords include structural engineering, economic loss from earthquakes, earthquake damage and functional recovery, and reinforced concrete structures.
Currently, the lab is working on research on the seismic performance of cities.
Key terms
- seismic design
- Designing a building in advance, with attention to its structural strength and ductility, so that it is less likely to be damaged even if an earthquake occurs.
- urban disaster prevention
- Ideas and measures for protecting an entire city, not just individual buildings, from disasters such as earthquakes.
- reinforced concrete structure
- A building structure made by combining steel reinforcing bars and concrete. Also called an RC structure for short.
ResearchResearch themes
The Kinugasa Lab studies the strength of buildings against earthquakes from the standpoint of structural engineering. Its research topics include evaluating the seismic performance of urban buildings from an economic perspective, and the failure mechanism of reinforced concrete (RC) members that fail in flexure when subjected to repeated loading.
