The thesis title is: “Plastic Deformation Capacity of Steel Beam Suffering Ductile Facture under Random Loading History”. Dr. Jiao worked as an assistant professor in Tokyo University of Science from 2012 to 2017. She started JIAO-LAB in Tokyo City University since 2017. Dr. Jiao has published 33 pre-review journal papers in English or Japanese, and has presented in over 35 international conferences.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. 1) Deformation capacity of structural steel and components

    Plastic deformation capacity of steel components is very important in evaluating the seismic capacity of steel structures. Ductile fracture is one of the most typical steel component failure modes during earthquakes, which is often observed at beam ends close to the beam to column connections, in the middle of the span, or at the connections of steel braces, etc. This study covers the deformation capacity (low cycle fatigue life) of structural steel commonly used in Japan such as SN400, SN490, SA440, and structural components like steel beams when subjected to random cyclic loading.

  2. 2) Seismic behavior of steel structure after fire

    Most of the buildings in Japan has experienced or will experience earthquake. Some of them was once subjected to fire during construction or after. The design recommendation in Japan suggests a two-step assessment to determine if the components need to be replaced or repaired. However, the design recommendation only focuses on the strength of the components, it is necessary to evaluate their deformation capacities consider future earthquakes. This study evaluates the deformation behavior of steel components after fire, with which the seismic behavior of the steel structure will be discussed.
