Building Structure /Exercise 1

Researches on seismic structures are the main theme of this course. Seismic codes and seismic technologies have been revised after each terrible earthquake disaster. Students of this course should research with exercises, experiments, analyses and/or surveys in order to solve suitable topics. “Seismic design method”, “mechanical theory”, “seismic performance” and “disaster prevention” are mentioned as an example of a topic. Thinking and acting by oneself during the research process are as important for students as the research outcomes.

1. Understand conventional ideas on earthquake engineering and structural engineering
2. Understand the fundamental methods of designing, analyzing and experimenting related to building structure
3. Taking up issues related to building structure and carrying out research autonomously

Japanese

Proceed according to the target topic

Each instructor evaluates based on the research outcome, behavior during the research process, and relational activities.

The instructor will advise according to the topic.
