<About the Research>

To contribute to the development of natural disaster risk management, we are conducting research on performance evaluation of buildings, urban risk assessment, and prediction and evaluation of natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis. We approach these research issues using methods such as probability theory, machine learning utilizing big data.

 

Performance Evaluation of Buildings

By utilizing various types of records during natural events like earthquakes in addition to simulation based on analytical models, we are developing a methodology to clarify the structural performance of buildings for future earthquakes. We are also developing a framework to evaluate the performance of buildings in terms of life and business continuity after a disaster.

 

Earthquake Ground Motion Modeling

We are also conducting research focusing on earthquake hazard to be used for building structural design and seismic risk assessment. By evaluating the ground characteristics using seismic motion observation records, we will realize more accurate ground motion prediction. We are also developing a novel data-driven approach to predict earthquake ground motion based on artificial intelligence learned from big data of earthquake records.
