Our laboratory is actively accepting international students.
For person who is considering ways and means to study Concrete Engineering
in Japan, we provide some information about our lab.
About TMU Concrete Lab
TMU Concrete Lab. is one of the “Safety and Disaster Prevention Filed”
group of the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering field in
the Graduate School and Faculty of Urban Environmental Sciences, Tokyo
Metropolitan University.
Based on observation and analyses, the Graduate School and Faculty of Urban Environmental Sciences clarifies the interactions among 1) the natural environment, 2) humans, 3) materials, 4) energy, 5) information, and 6) man-made structures such as buildings and automobiles, as crucial elements that construct urban environments. The Graduate School and Faculty aims to develop methodologies for predicting, designing, and controlling the interactions and concentration of each element in any space and at any time, and to establish a system of urban environmental sciences that leads to a construction of a sustainable society. The Graduate School and Faculty promotes advanced research on each element as a priority area, not only to solve, but also to discover problems in realizing a sustainable “Mega-City.”
In our research we seek to understand human society and ecosystem, to promote the intelligent use of limited natural resources, and to design sustainable infrastructure systems.

Research Contents
Here are the contents of our researches conducted in 2020.
Atsushi UENO, Associate Professor
Research Topic:
Concrete Engineering, Concrete Materials Science
【Outline of Research Achievement in 2020】
A study on durability and skid resistance of eco-cement and recycled aggregate
extremely dry concrete were conducted from the stand point of safety of
pavement, conservation of natural resources and reducing of environmental
impact by concrete structure. Also, deterioration factors and mechanisms
on concrete surface in advanced water treatment system, influence of steam
curing condition on properties of hardened concrete, effect of acceleration
type chemical admixtures on setting and properties of mortar under various
thermal condition, evaluation of properties of volcanic materials as concrete
making materials, requirements for uniform dispersion of PP short fibers
in concrete were examined as the basic properties for various type of concrete.
Kentaro OHNO, Associate Professor
Research Topic:
Concrete Engineering, Non-destructive Testing of Concrete Structure, Elastic Wave Method
【Outline of Research Achievement in 2020】
I worked on the following subject by using elastic wave method.
(1) Estimation of demolding strength of early age concrete by ultrasonic and impact elastic wave method
(2) Stress estimation in prestressed concrete by ultrasonic
(3) Estimation of crack depth by impact elastic wave method
(4) Detection method of horizontal crack in RC slab by means of impact elastic wave
(5) Estimation of adhesion condition between concrete and steel bar by
using impact elastic wave method
Kimitaka UJI, Specially-Appointed Professor
Research Topic:
Concrete Engineering, Construction Technology, Durability of Concrete Structure,
Repair and Strengthening
【Outline of Research Achievement in 2020】
1) Fluidity and segregation resistance of fresh concrete were studied for the purpose of improving the quality and durability of concrete structures. From the experimental study, it was clarified that the distance from vibrator to re-bars and the viscosity related with water/cement ratio affect the fluidity of concrete and the homogenization of cover concrete.
2) It was cleared from the pore size distribution and the neutralization
characteristics of surface of concrete specimens that the quality and durability
of steam-cured pre-cast concrete were improved with the sprinkling water
under steam cure process.
3) The shear bond strength was investigated with attention to the roughness,
types of primer and shapes of the interface between existing concrete and
repair mortar.
