| |
The structural lab was built after the 921 Earthquake in 1999. It is equipped with a 20 m x 10 m x 70 cm reaction slab and an 8 m x 7.2 m x 1m reaction wall, which provides the vertical and horizontal loading reaction supports for large scale structural load test. A lifting crane system with 14 m clean height and a 20 tons capacity is also equipped for transporting large specimens. The structural lab provides sufficient room and equipments for research and teaching. |
Research Fields |
| |
| |
Structural lab provides the tests and analyses of steel elements and concrete elements subject to static or dynamic loadings. The main scope of research includes the follows: |
| |
- - Mechanical property of cold-formed steel structure
- Ultimate load capacity of structure
- Non-destructive test (NDT) for concrete structure
- Prediction of load capacity of pre-stressed concrete by stress wave
- Failure mechanism of concrete elements
- Assessment and repair of concrete crack
