Construction Safety Research Group

The Construction Safety Research Group studies the requirements for safe construction work, and also helps improve methods for promoting a safe working environment at all construction sites. The main subjects of our research are safety during temporary work, safety during earthwork, the prevention of accidents involving falls and slipping, and the safety assessment of newly-developed methods which are now being used in modern construction work.


Wind tunnel tests for the prevention of collapse among temporary structures due to strong wind.


Geotechnical centrifuge testing apparatus (NIIS-Mark II).

 

Performance test of temporary structures.


Experimental study for investigating the mechanism of slope failure.

 

 

Simulating the overturning of a mobile crane due to outriggers which have sunk into the ground.
