Building Structure, Sustainable Building Structure
Outline Activities
At the Sustainable Building Structure Laboratory, we are addressing the study on the building structure which can accomplish reduction and reuse of building materials for “reduction of global environmental load.” Extension of life-span by repair of architecture is included in reduction of building materials, so we are also researching on structural preservation of historical architecture, and characteristics of building construction and structure used according to an environmental condition. In our study, the target structural systems are various. They are brick masonry, timber structure, historical reinforced concrete structure, mixed construction of reinforced concrete and brick masonry, vibration control system for steel frame structure, and so forth.
