We are pleased to announce the launch of the official website for our Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory. This website features the following information: Research: Our research themes including liquefaction, ground improvement, slope stability, and foundation structures Members: Introduction of faculty and students with their research topics Publications: Papers, conference presentations, and awards News: Latest laboratory activities and updates We will regularly update this site to inform prospective graduate students and companies/research institutions interested in collaborative research about our laboratory activities. ...

A student from our laboratory presented research at the 20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE 2025) held in Sydney, Australia, from January 6-10, 2025. Presentation Details Title: “Numerical Analysis of Pile Foundation Behavior in Liquefiable Ground During Earthquakes” Authors: 〇〇 〇〇, Professor Name, 〇〇 〇〇 This research investigated in detail the behavior of pile foundations in liquefiable ground using effective stress analysis, and clarified the relationship between the bending moment distribution of piles and the deformation characteristics of the ground. The validity of the proposed analysis method was demonstrated through comparison with geotechnical centrifuge test results. ...
