In addition to structural mechanics lab., the structural laboratory on the Katsura campus is shared by some structural laboratories of the Department of Global engineering,
such as structural materials, structural dynamics, social infrastructure creative engineering, structure management courses, and earthquake-resistant foundations.
Large-scale structural loading frame (shared)
Large-scale loading frame500 ton static jack200 ton dynamic jack
Large reaction force frame (height 7m, width 5m), reaction force wall, reaction force floor, dynamic actuator (2000kN)
and static jack (compression 5000kN, tension 2500kN). Can be combined to perform static and dynamic loading experiments on large structures. The static jack can be mounted horizontally and vertically to accommodate a variety of loading types.
Medium-scale structure loading device (shared)
Medium-scale structure loading device40 ton actuator
By combining a medium-sized reaction force frame (height 5 m, width 3 m), reaction force wall, reaction force floor and 4 actuators (maximum load capacity 400 kN),
2 directions (vertical, horizontal), 3 directions (vertical, vertical, Various loading experiments such as loading (horizontal 2 directions) or torsional force loading are possible.
Tertiary structure loading device (manufactured by SHIMADZU CORPORATIONn) (structural mechanics)
Loading frame9 actuators
The reaction force frame, reaction force floor, and nine actuators allow loading in six degrees of freedom: x-direction, y-direction, z-direction, x-axis rotation, y-axis rotation, and z-axis rotation.
The maximum load capacity of actuators other than the vertical direction is 100kN, and the maximum load capacity of the vertical actuator only is 300kN (compression 500kN).

Ozone testing machine（structural mechanics）
Ozone testing machine（Tokyo Thermo Tec.）
One of the deterioration factors of rubber and resin is deterioration due to ozone, which has strong oxidizing power.
By using an ozone deterioration tester, rubber and plastic test pieces can be exposed to ozone-containing air.
Ozone degradation tests can quickly evaluate the ozone resistance of these materials.
