Research Projects
|
1922-
|
The Civil Engineering Laboratory (the predecessor of the PWRI) was established
under the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs. The research team belonged
to the Division 4 of the Civil Engineering Laboratory.
We conducted research and analysis that were focused on:
- aggregate;
- concrete for pavement; and
- thermal property of mass concrete for dam construction.
|
1938-
|
We conducted research and analysis that were focused on design, material,
and construction of concrete structures.
|
1948-
|
1950-
We conducted research and analysis that were focused on:
- air-entrained concrete; and
- design method of concrete structures based on plasticity.
1955-
We conducted research and analysis that were focused on:
- strength of dam cocnrete under triaxial stress;
- characteristics of concrete with crushed aggregate;
- mix proportion of pavement concrete; and
- quality inspection of concrete.
1975-
We conducted research and analysis that were focused on:
- durability of concrete (alkali-aggregate reaction, chloride induced corrosion);
- seismic strength of concrete structures;
- repair methods for deteriorated concrete structures;
- (earthquake, chloride induced corrosion);
- quality control of aggregate for dam concrete; and
- quality management of concrete.
|
2001-
|
The research team was reorganized as the Structure Management Technology
Team in the Independent Administrative Agency Public Works Research Institute(PWRI).
We conducted research and analysis that were focused on:
- design method of concrete structures;
- quality control and inspection technique for concrete structures; and
- maintenance of existing concrete structures.
|
2008-
|
The research team was reorganized as the Concrete and Metallic Materials Research Team.
|
2015-
|
The research team was integrated into the Innovative Materials and
Resources Research Center(iMaRRC) in the National Research and Development
Agency Public Works Research Institute(PWRI).
