Atsushi ICHIKAWA


  The principal objects of the research and development in the field of structural technology are to establish design standards, reduce construction costs, and improve maintenance and environmental technologies. We are developing useful products for railway companies such as high seismic performance abutments, sheet pile foundations, and diagnostics systems.
