The lab studies the seismic performance of super high-rise buildings and construction methods that withstand earthquakes.
AboutAbout the lab
Making buildings earthquake-resistant through experiments and analysis
The Nagae Lab specializes in building structures and studies earthquake engineering to make buildings more resistant to earthquakes.
For reinforced concrete and steel buildings, it investigates seismic performance using records of full-scale shake table tests and numerical analysis.
Its main themes are evaluating the seismic performance of super high-rise buildings and developing retrofit measures, and developing easy-to-build, economical high-seismic-performance construction methods together with design methods for them.
Key terms
- Earthquake engineering
- Engineering that devises design and retrofit methods so that buildings are less likely to be damaged by earthquake shaking
- Reinforced concrete construction
- A way of building with columns and beams made by placing steel bars inside and casting concrete around them
- High-seismic-performance construction method
- A way of assembling a building that is designed to limit damage even in large earthquakes
