Welcome to S3 Lab
Structural Safety & Sustainability Lab
Embedded Files
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 정량화하여 우리가 사용하는 사회기반시설물의 안전성을 평가합니다.

S3 lab @KNU is currently accepting applications for undergraduate interns and graduate students. We welcome candidates interested in structural deterioration, including corrosion and fatigue, load effect assessment, life cycle assessment of infrastructures, and AI applications. For more details about the positions, please feel free to contact Prof. Lee-Sak An (lan@kongju.ac.kr) with your CV and brief self-introduction.
국립공주대학교 구조 안전성 및 지속가능성 연구실에서는 교량, 해상풍력, 건축물 등 대형 구조물이 경험하는 하중 및 저항 변화를 실험, 해석, 확률론, 인공지능 등의 방법론을 통해 평가하여 안전한 국토 인프라 실현에 기여합니다. 학부연구생 또는 대학원 진학을 희망하는 학생은 간단한 자기소개와 함께 이력서를 lan@kongju.ac.kr로 보내주시기 바랍니다.
