[2018.04.01] Plant-Structure Optimization is started with plant biologists to apply the living plants to structural engineering.
[2017.01.25] More than 550 delegates, from all over the world, participated in the IASS 2016 symposium and all events finished in great success.
About
Three-dimensional spatial structures have advantageous features to conventional planar frame structures. Spatial structural systems are usually highly efficient with light-weight and high rigidity. Some of them are mechanically flexible or environmentally adaptable. The efficiency of the spatial structures is usually due to their morphological nature. Current research topics of our lab. are as follows:
Development of new lightweight structural systems
Apply living plants into structures
Static and dynamic behavior of spatial structures
Safety of the large enclosures
Tension structures (membrane or tensegrity structures)
Adaptable/Deployable Structures
Seismic performance and dynamic control of lightweight structures
Morphological aspects of structures and mechanical behavior of plates and shells.
