​The Smart Structure Lab. at Keimyung University is studying ways to improve local earthquake disaster recovery capabilities. In particular, we are conducting various researches on seismic design methods for buildings & bridges, and big data and AI-based disaster management platforms for urban earthquake disaster prevention. Our research is dedicated to safeguarding human life and property from increasingly frequent and complex natural disasters.

​

• Seismic Isolation & Vibration Control

• Sustainable Structural Systems

• Optimum Structural Configurations

• Natural Inspired Seismic Design

• Vibration Structural Health Monitoring of Railway Transit

• Urban-level Earthquake Disaster Prediction & Mitigation

• Earthquake Disaster Management Platform (Ergo-EQ, IN-CORE)

• National and Urban Level Earthquake Disaster Resilience Strategies
