Research Themes
Development of joint structures for laborsaving and rapid construction
Due to the recent decrease in the number of construction workers in Japan, it has become an important issue to reduce the labor and the period of on-site construction. For this reason, I am developing new joints and proposing their design methods to assemble structures quickly on-site with FE analysis and structural experiment. The target structures in my research include temporary structures for construction and emergency bridges for disasters that require rapid construction.
Teaching Philosophy
I aim to educate students not only to acquire specialized knowledge in structural mechanics, maintenance management engineering, and steel structures but also to solve some problems of social infrastructure with this knowledge.
In addition, I put special emphasis on fostering collaborative people. Because as the word "Civil Engineering" implies, there is a limit to what one person can do alone.
