RESEARCH

Topic 1 Structural Safety and Sustainability

Structural Eng. / AI-Struct.Eng.

//Structures under rare conditions (strong earthquake, fire); (concrete and CFT structures, Sustainable structures)

//Structures under multi-loads;

  • Development and Design of innovative systems;
  • Structural and Urban ResilienceResilience assessment of structural elements and structures;
  • Structural optimization, topology optimization(collaborate with the partners in France and U.K.)
  • Structural strengthening & repairing by composite materials

-Models of TRC under various loads;(France)

-Design of TRC/TRM strengthened RC structures (France);

//AI-Structure +

Our laboratory is conducting research into “AI-based structural performance evaluation,” “AI-based earthquake response analysis methods,” “AI-based structural risk assessment methods,” and “AI-based structural optimization methods,” and is working toward the practical application of AI technology to realize Society 5.0 in the future.
