Building Structural Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies safe and sustainable architecture through the structures and materials of buildings.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching safe and sustainable architecture through structures and materials.
The Building Structural Systems Lab belongs to the Architecture Division of the Department of Urban Environment, Graduate School of Environmental Studies, and studies the structures and materials of buildings in pursuit of safe and sustainable architecture and urban environments.
Its education and research center on design methods for various structures such as reinforced concrete and timber, large-span spaces, composite structures, and seismically isolated and vibration-controlled structures.
The lab also works on performance evaluation and performance-based design of building materials, and on the development of new materials.
It also aims to build resource-recycling structural systems.
Key terms
- Seismic isolation and vibration control structures
- Structural approaches that make earthquake shaking less likely to be transmitted to a building, or that absorb the shaking
- Composite structures
- Structures built by combining different materials, such as reinforced concrete and steel frames
- Performance-based design
- A design approach in which the performance required of a building is defined first, and the building is then designed to meet it
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming for safe and sustainable architecture and urban environments, the lab conducts education and research on the structures of buildings and on building materials. Its main focuses are design methods for various structures, performance evaluation and performance-based design of building materials, and the development of new materials.
