Ono Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies steel bridges to make them earthquake-resistant and long-lasting.
AboutAbout the lab
Building safe, long-lasting steel bridges.
The Ono Lab studies the design and maintenance of bridges made of steel (steel bridges).
The lab works on bridge structures that use new materials and on developing more rational design methods.
The lab is also pursuing research to realize bridges that resist damage even in a massive earthquake.
The lab conducts research through both experiments and analysis, with the aim of applying the results to actual bridges and design standards.
Key terms
- Steel bridge
- A bridge made of steel. Its high strength allows it to be used even for large bridges.
- Elastic design
- A design method that determines member sizes so that they remain strong within the range where the material returns to its original shape.
- Plastic design
- A design method that determines member sizes while also making use of the material's ductility after it begins to deform.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab mainly studies steel bridges, researching the use of new materials, the development of earthquake-resistant and rational design methods, and improved maintenance technology. Research proceeds through both experiments and analysis, with the aim of applying the results to actual bridges and design standards.
*Illustrative imageSteel Bridges Using New Materials
The lab investigates the properties of new steel materials and studies how to apply them to bridge structures, to more rational design methods, and to maintenance.
*Illustrative imageEarthquake-Resistant Bridges
The lab aims for bridges that can withstand massive earthquakes by using new materials, new structures that prevent collapse, and dampers that suppress seismic shaking.
*Illustrative imageRational Design Methods for Steel Girders
Steel girders are designed with elastic design in Japan and plastic design in Europe and the US. The lab studies a Japan-specific design method that takes plasticization into account.
