The Laboratory of Building Structure performs researches in the fields of structural design and mechanical analysis of high rise and big span buildings.
The current focus of researches :

1. New structure systems
  • S-Art
  • 1.5-Layer space frames
  • Frameless Glass Structures, Reciprocal system


2. High-rise Buildings and Big Span Spatial Structures
  • Seismic design for high rise and big span buildings
  • Structural design theories for tension structures, namely, Membrane and Cable Structures
  • New configuration and design methods for Space Frames and Folding Structures, etc.


3. Shape Optimization and Structural Analysis
  • Shape optimization, to find the optimum shape of a structure aided by computer program, is still a citadel in the fields of mechanical analysis and structural engineering. Our laboratory researches shape optimization against buckling, and shape optimization for space frames and tension structures.
  • Nonlinear structural analysis: Geometric nonlinear analysis (buckling, bifurcation), Elastic-Plastic Analysis


4. Concrete
  • Bubble concrete
