Geotechnical Engineering Subarea
Soil and ground play vital roles in infrastructure development, water resources and its circulation, ecosystems, disposal of waste, and supply of energy resources. To realize sustainable utilization of the geo-environment, we conduct research and technical development related to soil and rock mass aimed at construction and maintenance of earthen structures that are stable against heavy rainfall and earthquake, beneficial use of waste/recycled materials, waste containment, remediation of contaminated site, geological repository of high-level radioactive waste, and development of geothermal reservoir.
