(Single Cube Apparatus SCA)
Validation and use of a pure shear testing device.
Development of a non-destructive method that allows to use one sample to obtain all nine orthotropic material properties.
Sustainable testing method that can be applied for archaeological materials, restoration projects and more.
Digital image analysis
Shear Wall system
Construction system designed based on culture and sustainable materials and practices.
Densified wood used as fuse during earthquakes.
Easy to replace, restore and continue to use.
Circularity and sustainability on a design steel-free, and discarded massive timber.
Design of shear wall composed of pre-fabricated panels.
Design based on Japanese ancient systems.
Maintaining alive ancient traditions and handcrafts is of great importance.
In addition, exploring improved ways to build, install and control its quality is a beautiful challenge. Sustainable culture and buildings.
GLT Beam-to-Column joint assembled with LSB and steel box
Design that allows building larger edifications using massive timber, while maintaining a fuse point during earthquakes.
Sustainable and circular buildings. Possibility to partial repairs and replacements.
Understanding the working mechanism of Japanese Bracket Complex - Kumimono
Aiming to understand ancient techniques and practices that have been proven to withstand the pass of time and Earth movements. Vernacular is amazing!
Morphology, Mechanical, and electrical performance of PA-modified wood
Opening the path for development of new natural materials. Understanding their properties is essential.
Effect of the joints in the overall deformation of the Vasa Ship
Design of a representative joint of the admired Vasa ship, in order to study its effect under load. The aim: develop a computer model that would allow researchers to design a support system that can maintain a structure of historical and cultural value over a long period of time.
