Welcome to S³ Lab
Structure X Safety X Sustainability
Infrastructures are continuously exposed to loads, deterioration, and uncertainties throughout their long service lives. At S³ Lab, we investigate structural responses to diverse loading conditions, including wind, waves, traffic, and impact, as well as time-dependent degradation caused by corrosion and fatigue cracking. By integrating experimental testing, numerical analysis, and probabilistic methods, we quantify how these uncertainties affect structural performance and ultimately assess the life-cycle reliability and risk of infrastructure systems.
사회기반시설물과 같은 대형 구조물은 긴 설계수명 동안 다양한 하중, 노후화, 그리고 불확실성에 지속적으로 노출됩니다. 구조 안전성 및 지속가능성 연구실은 바람, 파랑, 차량 및 충돌과 같은 다양한 하중에 대한 구조물의 응답과, 부식 및 피로균열 등 시간에 따른 재료·구조 성능의 저하를 정량적으로 분석합니다. 실험, 수치해석 및 확률론적 방법론을 통합하여 이러한 불확실성이 구조 안전성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고, 생애주기 관점에서 사회기반시설물의 신뢰도와 위험도를 평가하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
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 분은 간단한 자기소개와 함께 이력서를 lan@kongju.ac.kr로 보내주시기 바랍니다.
