Concrete Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies reinforced concrete buildings from both structural and materials perspectives.
AboutAbout the lab
From molecular behavior to structural design
The Concrete Engineering Lab studies construction materials and the structural safety of buildings made of reinforced concrete.
A group that investigates structures and a group that investigates materials carry out research together.
The lab places importance on students gaining a real, hands-on understanding of how structures fail, through experiments in which large test specimens are broken.
Another feature of the lab is its emphasis on working together as a team.
Key terms
- Reinforced concrete
- A material made by placing steel bars (rebar) inside concrete. The rebar compensates for concrete's weakness under tension.
- Test specimen
- A model built for experiments to imitate an actual building or structural member. Some are full-scale.
- Aggregate
- Particles such as sand and gravel mixed into concrete. Cement and water bind them together to form concrete.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies construction materials and the structural safety of buildings made of reinforced concrete. Its work ranges from analyzing volume changes in cement and the reactions that occur inside concrete to evaluating the seismic performance of buildings.
*Illustrative imageSafety of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Through experiments that actually break large structural members and frames, the lab aims to clarify the mechanisms that keep buildings safe. It also measures shaking in real buildings during earthquakes to verify analytical models.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Concrete Materials
The lab builds models that predict phenomena in concrete, from the process in which cement reacts with water and hardens to cracking and durability. It also works on environmentally friendly concrete, such as concrete that uses glass as aggregate or that incorporates industrial by-products.
