Yoshimichi Tsukamoto, Professor
1 student voices
The Tsukamoto Lab studies soil mechanics, the branch of geotechnical engineering that deals with the mechanical properties of soil. In the Great East Japan Earthquake, sandy ground liquefied over a wide area of the Kanto region, causing major damage to infrastructure structures, lifelines, and detached houses. Through laboratory tests and field surveys, the lab investigates how water-saturated sandy ground comes to liquefy during an earthquake and how the ground flows.
Tadao Enomoto, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Enomoto Lab studies ground disasters from the perspective of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics. The structures that support society are built on or in the ground, and Japan is a country with many ground disasters, such as liquefaction during earthquakes, slope failures caused by heavy rain, and subsidence of reclaimed land. The lab conducts surveys and observations at disaster sites, performs soil tests on collected soil, and carries out model experiments that reproduce the field conditions. By interpreting the resulting data, the lab clarifies the mechanisms of ground disasters and links this to the development of technologies that reduce the damage from disasters.
Yasuo Nihei, Professor
0 student voices
The Nihei Lab (called the Hydraulics Lab on its website) studies fluid motion in natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, and the environmental phenomena linked to it. Its goals are to clarify actual conditions, establish prediction methods, and improve and restore the environmental problems occurring there. The lab takes its own measurements through field observation and remote sensing, and runs numerical simulations on computers to reproduce and predict phenomena in the field. The lab places importance on students going to the field as much as possible to experience environmental phenomena firsthand, and sometimes building their own environmental measuring instruments for monitoring.
Makoto Nakayoshi, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakayoshi Lab investigates the relationships among urban form, the atmospheric environment, and human health, with the aim of creating safe and comfortable urban spaces. There are concerns that as urbanization advances, environmental problems such as air pollution, urban heat islands, and heavy rainfall will worsen. The lab uses observation, experiments, and numerical simulation, and sometimes builds its own measuring instruments, to capture the essence of the phenomena. Its research fields are urban hydrometeorology and thermal physiology.
Masayuki Saeki, Professor
0 student voices
The Saeki Lab (Structural Engineering Lab) researches sensing systems that detect abnormalities in civil infrastructure structures such as road accessories and power transmission towers. It measures the acceleration response of a structure and analyzes the data appropriately to determine whether an abnormality exists. The lab is also developing technologies that use sound and images to assess the condition of structures. It also works on research that deploys and applies the fundamental technologies developed in the lab to real sites, in cooperation with companies.
Yoshitaka Kato, Professor
0 student voices
The Kato Lab researches the mechanisms by which concrete structures deteriorate and what is needed to maintain them. It investigates how segregation of materials in concrete before it hardens affects its quality after hardening. The lab uses electrochemistry to study the corrosion of reinforcing steel inside concrete, and is considering the development of corrosion protection technologies. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Concrete Engineering Lab."
Shintaro Terabe, Professor
0 student voices
The Terabe Lab studies the analysis of users' behavior and attitudes in order to plan transportation such as roads and railways. Public participation, in which citizens' opinions are gathered widely and reflected in plans, is also one of its research subjects. The lab considers appropriate survey methods, such as observation and experiments, simulations, and questionnaires, and studies how to analyze the data obtained. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name Planning Lab (Keikaku Kenkyushitsu).
Kichiro Kimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kimura Lab studies vibrations that occur in structures such as bridges, especially vibrations caused by wind. Structures can be damaged by vibrations caused by earthquakes, wind, vehicles, and other sources. The mechanisms of wind-induced vibrations are not yet well understood. Besides bridges, the lab also targets large wind turbines, power transmission lines, and vibrations not caused by wind, aiming to make it possible to design structures more rationally.
Hideki Yaginuma, Professor
0 student voices
The Yaginuma Lab analyzes people's behavior on transportation networks such as roads and railways, and conducts research that helps solve transportation problems. The lab aims to understand problems such as road congestion, crowded trains, and network disruptions during disasters through the analysis of travel behavior. The lab represents travel behavior on rail and road networks and in pedestrian spaces with mathematical models, and develops simulation systems for urban transportation.
Nagate Hashimoto, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Hashimoto Lab is a materials science lab in the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, specializing in civil engineering materials, construction, and construction management. The lab's webpage lists corrosion, corrosion protection, electrochemistry, and impedance as its fields of expertise. In the department's introduction of its labs, electrochemical methods, corrosion and corrosion protection science, and materials science are given as the lab's keywords. Lecturer Nagate Hashimoto also serves as a director and CPO of Tsukarimakuri Co., Ltd., a startup originating from Tokyo University of Science.
