Materials Group
Materials group are studying on the long term durability of various materials such as concrete, steel, protection method under marine environment, by using our exposure test sites ( tidal pool, seawater spraying field, Hazaki Oceanographical Research Station, etc.) . Our main research results are the chloride- induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete, the deterioration of concrete and the protection method for steel structure under marine environment.

Greetings
Group Leader We are studying on the long term durability of various materials under marine environment based on the long term exposure test. The long term exposure test takes long term, but, obtained results have very useful. Our experience and research environment are our strong point in our research activity. We are trying to continue the long term exposure test, which our senior members started, and also present members will start for new subjects. |
