A lab that studies the strength and deformation of soil and also puts soil and sand generated by disasters to use.

AboutAbout the lab
Tackling ground problems through soil mechanics
The Nakano-Sakai Lab (Geomechanics, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Group) is a group in the Geotechnical Engineering Division that studies the mechanics of soil and ground.
Through laboratory soil tests, the lab examines the strength of soil and how it deforms.
The lab works on research to use soil and sand generated by disasters, such as tsunami deposits, as material for earth structures.
Professor Nakano is one of the inventors of GEOASIA, a ground analysis technique developed by the geotechnical research group at Nagoya University.
Key terms
- earth structure
- A structure built from soil, such as an embankment or a levee
- tsunami deposit
- Soil, sand, and debris carried by a tsunami and left on land
- compaction
- Pressing soil with force to pack it and reduce the voids, making it firm
ResearchResearch themes
The lab examines the strength and deformation of soil through laboratory tests to clarify the behavior of ground and earth structures. It also works on research to put soil and sand generated by disasters to use as construction material.
