The Department of Civil Engineering encompasses studies to create and utilize new spatial environments required for public land and urban areas; studies on various characteristics of hazardous environments and safe environments both above and underground and studies on the dynamics and materials of structures for the construction of high-quality infrastructures. We aim at fostering excellent engineers and researchers who have an intellectual outlook on the development and environmental protection of public land and urban areas, and who have deep insight and rich scholastic knowledge.

Frontline Research
Hideo Koide,
Professor, (1990-)
Professor Koide received a Ph.D. from Tohoku University in 1990.
Current research in his lab focuses on “recycle systems of concrete” and “effective utilization of waste and industry by-products as concrete materials”.
- 1. A study on the properties of concrete using recycled concrete powder.
- 2. The various influences of tensile properties on “Recycled Concrete” by differences of “Recycled Aggregate”.
