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:
Materials for Civil engineering, Concrete Engineering
【Outline of Research Achievement in 2023】
1)A study on durability and skid resistance of concrete pavement, detail
investigation of surface texture factors of concrete pavement to maintain
high skid resistance were conducted from the stand point of a traffic safety.
Influence of steam curing condition on properties of hardened concrete
for durable pre-cast concrete products, evaluation of properties of volcanic
materials as concrete making materials, were examined as the basic properties
for various types of concrete.
Kentaro OHNO, Associate Professor
Research Topic:
Concrete Structure, Maintenance and Non-destructive Testing for Existing
Concrete Structures
【Outline of Research Achievement in 2023】
I worked on the following subject by using elastic wave method.
1)Estimation of concrete stress in prestressed concrete by using ultrasonic
2)Estimation of strength in early age concrete for lining concrete by impact elastic wave method
3)Effect of both crack width and leakage of concrete on ultrasonic propagation characteristics
4)Investigation of AE source location method with P-wave velocity change
5)Process monitoring of steam-cured concrete by ultrasonic and AE methods
6) Influence of moisture content in concrete on results of rebound number test
Tomohisa KAMADA, Assistant Professor
Research Topic:
Durability and maintenance of RC structures
【Outline of Research Achievement in 2023】
1)Various experiments were conducted to understand the water permeability in reinforced concrete, and it was clarified that the water permeability differs greatly between reinforced concrete and unreinforced concrete, and that water selectively penetrates the area directly under the reinforcing bars.
2)3D microstructural observation of pore structure of hardened cement was conducted using FIB-SEM, and the relationship between the 3D information of the pore structure and the water permeability was investigated.
