Research Interests
Tunnel and underground space laboratory have two types of research tasks. One of them is a type of basic and fundamental subjects for practical works. The other is applied studies related to practical works. As these study themes, we take up the matters on construction sites and the topics that become problems. These studies are divided into two groups to pursue. One is performed in cooperation with external organizations, and the others perform as graduation theses, master’s theses and doctoral theses. In our Laboratory, we held weekly presentation for discussion on each study. In addition, we have enhanced our recognition for practical affairs by providing laboratory students with opportunities to experience construction sites in the real world several times in a year.
