TOKYO METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY
Research Plandetail
Our objectives of each year are as follows.
In 2011
We studied on the basic knowledge about some following issues: deterioration
mechanism, non-destructive tests, monitoring techniques, ground characteristics
and estimation methods of traffic conditions. We also carried out the long
time experiment on repairing and strengthening for improving the fatigue
life of steel and hybrid structures to obtain its basic data. In addition,
we began to research on the estimation methods of traffic conditions which
could be applied to the asset management.
In 2012
Continuing the examinations from FY 2011, we conducted experiments with
the specific factors taking from the geographical conditions of Tokyo and
collected their data.
In 2013
We summarized the new research results of defining deterioration mechanism,
improving the accuracy of the non-destructive tests and the monitoring
techniques, and the ground characteristics. And we also presented the basic
concept of methods for the durability evaluation and the life expectancy
forecast.
In 2014
We complemented the experiments on the repair and strengthening techniques
for ensuring the structural safety and examined the reasonable maintenance
strategies for urban infrastructures taken account of deterioration.
In 2015
We established the technologies for ensuring the structural safety and
extending the service life of aging infrastructures by the comprehensive
evaluation based on the results of the repairing and strengthening experiments,
the ground characteristics investigations and the study on the estimation
methods of traffic conditions.
