Research policy and content

This research group is conducting research with the aim of improving the performance of civil engineering structures and streamlining design, construction, and maintenance management, with a focus on bridges.In particular, with the keywords of safety, economy, functionality, durability, and harmony with the environment of civil engineering structures, we aim to realize high-performance new infrastructure and rational maintenance and preservation systems for existing structures. It is a challenge to construction and urban regeneration.The main recent themes are:

  • Development of new, long and ultra-long suspension bridges
  • Development of a new structural system for suspension bridges
  • Development of structural design method
  • Rationalization of steel/composite/composite bridges and development of stiffening design method
  • Development of evaluation method for durability (residual strength) of bridges and members and maintenance management system
  • Development of bridge structures using fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)
  • Development of repair/reinforcement methods for existing steel structures
  • Evaluation and Conservation of Modern Civil Engineering Heritage Bridges
