Divisions Introduction

CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Our education and research efforts are for the development of civil engineering technologies and construction materials that provide superior disaster prevention and that are harmonious with the Earth. Examples of our research include the numerical analysis of civil structures (bridges, tunnels, harbors, etc.), and the development of material properties and applications for high-performance concrete suitable for our recycling society.
