Nagoya University Civil Engineering Concrete Laboratory

Nagoya University's Civil Engineering Concrete Laboratory conducts a wide range of research into the maintenance of infrastructure structures such as bridges, tunnels, and dams, as well as the mechanical behavior of cement-based materials in harsh environments. As focusing primarily on the scale of cracks, the mesoscale analysis developing in our laboratory and experiments ranging from microstructural analysis (nano/micro) to structural experiments (macro) have been applied to develop new maintenance methods for concrete structures that deteriorate over time, and to elucidate the mechanisms of complex phenomena involving mechanical and environmental effects that have yet to be fully elucidated.

In addition, we are conducting a wide range of research with the aim of social implementation and international expansion through domestic collaborative research with companies and international researchers, and we are looking for students/people who want to join us in taking on the challenge of cutting-edge research!
