Practice of Disaster Reduction and Reconstruction Studies for Safe and Secure Urban Development

Graduate School of Disaster Resilience and Governance

Professor Yasuyuki Nagano / Director of the Graduate School

While conducting building safety verification during earthquakes (seismic response analysis) and ground response analysis, we have been conducting research on the application of optimal design to actual building structures.
We are also conducting research on new design methods for building structures using computer-aided design and on urban-scale building damage simulation using supercomputers.
From the viewpoint of disaster mitigation and reconstruction studies, we are solving actual problems in the world and practicing research useful for safe and secure urban development.
