Urban planning for disaster resilient cities
|
If Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake occurs, heavy casualties are estimated. However, urban planning for disaster resilient cities will greatly reduce the damage. The urban planning begins with imagining what kind of disasters will occur in the regional areas and how to deal with them to save irreplaceable lives by collaborating with the local government, residents, and researchers. City Planning Laboratory promotes the urban planning for resilient cities in cooperation with residents and the local government by deploying various simulation tools to estimate and visualize the effects of disasters, such as the fire caused by the earthquake. |

Create a safe and comfortable society
Our civilized life is supported by infrastructure. Lifelines for water, electricity, and gas and infrastructures such as roads, bridges, railroads, ports, information and communication facilities are essential for our safe and comfortable living. Recently, natural disasters caused by huge earthquakes and typhoons frequently occur, and it is globally acknowledged that infrastructures should be properly built, maintained and improved to secure people’s life. Such efforts must be carried out in harmony with a natural environment. In order to pass better society to the next generation, it is essential to develop technologies related to infrastructure.
In the field of civil and environmental engineering and infrastructure engineering course, we aim to develop engineers who can create sustainable society for our safe and comfortable life. Practical education will be provided by staff engaged in cutting-edge research so that we can be flexible with changes in society due to climate change and globalization.

Graduation Research
Most of the graduates find employment by utilizing the knowledge and skills acquired in undergraduate study. We provide kind career support each person so that they can be successful in society. It is also beneficial for students to have many opportunities to contact with OBs / OGs who work actively in industries. Approximately 30% of undergraduate graduates join the civil service and play an important role in developing infrastructure. There are many employees in the construction industry such as major general contractors and in the manufacturing, transportation, and telecommunications industries, and they are involved in large-scale constructions such as "Remain on the map". Some graduates are involved in research, planning and design at various sites as consultants. Approximately 30% of students go to graduate school to deepen their learning, and then the graduates equipped with higher expertise play an important role on the front line of infrastructure development. |
Career status in past 5 years |
|
|
The Structural Mathematical Engineering Laboratory is engaged in research that is useful for the maintenance of infrastructure such as bridges. Visualizing internal cracks and cavities using advanced techniques such as ultrasonic imaging. It has been paid attention as a method for accurately and non-destructively capturing the deterioration of structures. |
In the fields of civil and environmental engineering, we provide practical education closely related to the field. In the practical training, we examine problems that actually occur in society and find solutions. In the event of a disaster, many students are active as volunteers and participate in academic survey. |
