Welcome to S3 Lab

Structural Safety & Sustainability

Infrastructure is exposed to various uncertainties throughout its long design life and massive scale. At S3 Lab, we conduct research to probabilistically quantify how loads—such as traffic and wind—affect structural safety. We also investigate the strength degradation of structural components caused by deterioration mechanisms like corrosion and fatigue cracking. Our goal is to provide engineering-based assessments of a structure's safety through its life-cycle.

사회기반시설물은 긴 설계수명과 거대한 크기로 인해 생애주기에 걸쳐 다양한 불확실성에 노출됩니다. 구조 안전 및 지속가능성 연구실에서는 차량, 바람 등 다양한 하중이 구조물에 미치는 영향, 그리고 부식, 피로균열 등 노후화로 인한 구조 부재의 강도 저하를 확률적으로 정량화하여 우리가 사용하는 사회기반시설물이 얼마나 안전한지 공학적으로 평가하는 연구를 합니다.
