Reinforced Concrete Structures Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings through experiments.

AboutAbout the lab
Protecting lives and property through building materials, structures, and construction methods.
The Reinforced Concrete Structures Lab studies building materials, structures, and construction methods in order to protect the safety of buildings and the lives and property of the people who gather and live in them.
Buildings must be safe against external forces such as wind and earthquakes without exception, and as architectural design becomes more diverse, more advanced structural technology is required.
The main subject is reinforced concrete buildings, and the lab deals with seismic performance, seismic retrofitting, and the investigation and analysis of earthquake damage.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Structural Engineering Field, SE Field Lab."
Key terms
- Reinforced concrete
- A building structure made by combining steel reinforcing bars and concrete. It is the main subject of this lab's research.
- Seismic retrofitting
- Technology for making an existing building stronger against earthquakes.
- Beam-column joint
- The part of a reinforced concrete building where a column and a beam connect.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies building materials, structures, and construction methods in order to protect the safety of buildings and the lives and property of the people who live in them. Its list of research themes includes joints using mechanical anchorage, shake-table tests, and earthquake damage surveys.
*Illustrative imageSeismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings
The lab studies the seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures, construction methods for high-rise reinforced concrete buildings, and seismic retrofitting technologies for existing reinforced concrete structures. It also investigates and analyzes damage to structures in earthquake disasters.
*Illustrative imageBeam-column joints and reinforcement anchorage
The lab's main research subjects are beam-column joints in reinforced concrete construction and the bond and anchorage performance of reinforcing bars whose ends use mechanical anchorage. It also investigates and analyzes buildings damaged after earthquake disasters.
