Steel Structures Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A structural engineering lab that approaches safe architectural spaces through the mechanics of steel and other structures.
AboutAbout the lab
Safe and comfortable architectural spaces under applied loads.
The Steel Structures Lab conducts mechanics-based research mainly on building structures such as steel structures, timber structures, and steel-concrete composite structures.
Its aim is to develop theories and methods for creating safe and comfortable architectural spaces against loads such as earthquakes, typhoons, and snow.
Specifically, the lab carries out numerical analysis on computers and experiments to confirm the theory.
The lab belongs to the Architectural Structures Group in the Architectural Engineering Section of the Division of Global Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering.

- Steel structures
- A building structure whose frame is made of steel members
- Steel-concrete composite structures
- A building structure that uses steel and concrete in combination
- Numerical analysis
- A method of investigating the mechanical behavior of a building by calculating it on a computer
