Main research themes

Research on ground reinforcement and improvement technology

We are currently conducting research on the analysis and design technology of ground structures via reinforcement/improvement techniques, and the application methods for disaster prevention, mitigation, and control.

Experimental equipment for wheel-moving load test Model experiment on ground reinforcement technology Tensile test equipment Environment-assisted tensile test equipment

Research on coastal geotechnology

By combining the knowledge on coastal and geotechnical engineering, we conduct research on technologies that can minimize the action of disasters on wavefront structures, and improve yield strength.
