Graduate School of Engineering, Division of Urban Management Professor
The reserach to evaluate the mechnical and hydraulic characteristices of the geo-material, fracturesd rock masses form the surface to deep underground are carried out using rock engineering and geotechnical engineering. Actual construction and technical problems such as tunnel and underground space excavation, slope stability, dam foundations, geothermal development and underground storage and sequesnstration of by-products after energy production are conducted. The following is a list of the projects I will be working on. Inaddtion, temperature (T)-hydraulic (H)-geomaterial (M)-chemistry (C) coupled simulator, the constitutive model of a discontinuity rock mass and the simulator for fluid behavior in a rock fracture are developing.
