Fundamental Research in FY 2021 | Port and Airport Research Institute (PARI)

Major Research Fundamental Research in FY 2021

The fundamental research of waves, beaches, ground, earthquakes, environments, etc., is the basis of every study conducted by PARI, and therefore we are actively working on clarifying principles and phenomena, such as the mechanisms of natural phenomena and dynamic behavior of the ground and structures.
