About
VISION
Disaster-Resilient Building Structural Systems
The Resilient Building Structures Lab. develops technologies that use smart tools to efficiently secure structural safety and achieve resilience against
the disasters — natural hazards, collapse, and more — that can occur across a building's entire life cycle: design, construction, service, and maintenance.
RESEARCH AREAS
Smart-technology-based structural monitoring
Real-time measurement and diagnosis of building conditions using LiDAR and other smart sensing.
Resilience of damaged buildings after large-scale disasters
Rapid diagnosis and recovery of damaged buildings after large-scale disasters.
Performance-based design, evaluation, and retrofit of aged and damaged buildings
Precise performance evaluation and economical retrofit of aged and damaged buildings.
Life-cycle collapse prevention of buildings
Technologies that prevent collapse across design, construction, service, and maintenance.
