  1. http://www.risys.gl.tcu.ac.jp/Main.php?action=profile&type=detail&tchCd=5001644
Profile My specialty is application of Bayesian inference, random field theory, Gaussian process regression, theories of inverse problem and data science technologies to geotechnical and structural engineering problems. These research is useful for health monitoring, risk management and reliability engineering of infra-structures.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. 1. Spatial variability of geotechnical properties

    The risk of failure for a geotechnical structure significantly depends on the properties of the surrounding soil. Understanding spatial variability of geotechnical properties is thus important for geotechnical applications. We propose a method for estimating the spatial variability at arbitrary locations using Gaussian process regression with the superposition of multiple Gaussian random fields.

  2. 2. Bayesian Bridge Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM)

    BWIM systems use the bridge as a scale to measure the weight of vehicles passing over it. BWIM technology has attracted attention as a promising tool for bridge design optimization, overweight enforcement, fatigue prediction and maintenance planning. We proposed Bayesian bridge weigh-in-motion (BBWIM), which combines static BWIM and the probabilistic inverse problem, which includes a broad class of inverse problems such as the Kalman filter.

  3. 3. Reliability Estimation of Existing Structures

    The main research topics in this item are to develop the methodology to estimate limit state probability updated by inspection or test data. Inspection or test data of specific site as well as latest knowledge of degrading mechanism should be considered in order to perform accurate reliability estimation of existing structures. The formulation with sequential Monte Carlo simulation (SMCS) or Particle Filter is introduced for updating of model parameters and limit state probability. This is applied for RC structure with chloride deterioration and settlement of ground.
