The Construction Safety Research Group studies the requirements for the safe conduct of construction work and to improve methods for the working environment at construction sites. The main subjects of the research are safety in temporary work, safety in earthwork, prevention of accidents involving falls, and safety assessment of newly developed methods of 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.

Study on potential risks of overturning of drill rigs being self-propelled over unstable ground at construction sites.
