Structural Dynamics DPRI Kyoto-Univ. Gokasho, Uji, Kyoto 611-0011, Japan.
Japanese version is here.
Fundamental studies are being carried out to elucidate the dynamic characteristics of building structures, especially of shells and spatial structures, and to formulate their design criteria for preventing seismic damage. In order to establish the design codes of shells and spatial structures, general problems of structural mechanics in statical state as well as in dynamic state are being treated.
