Sustainable Construction and Disaster Management Research Group, SCDM

Head of research group: Asst.Prof.Dr. Pulpong Pongvithayapanu

Nowadays, the innovation in construction materials as well as civil engineering design rapidly improves and develops to resist and withstand both conventional load (live load and dead load) and disaster for example, earthquake, flood and storm. Moreover, an engineering design must also be conformed to the public regulation for environmental safety and public health. Therefore, to mitigate and alleviate those damages which might be occurred to the human and societies, the new design concept and novel researches in civil engineering must be developed and implemented to help advancing new technologies in materials construction and building structures. The objectives of this research group are as follows;

1. To conduct a research relating to civil engineering to mitigate the damage from natural disaster such as earthquake, flood and storm.
2. To conduct a research relating to water management system
3. To conduct a research relating to green building system and novel construction materials which are environment-friendly

Robotics and Advanced Autonomous Systems Research Group , RAAS

Head of research group: Dr.Kittipong  Yaovaja

Machinery, Robots, and Autonomous Systems have been essential tools for reducing cost of production and enhancing product quality in most manufacturing industries as well as facilitating and enhancing living standards. Robotics and Advanced Autonomous Systems (RAAS) Research Group was supported and funded by the Faculty of Engineering at Sriracha, Kasetsart University, Sriracha Campus. RAAS research group was founded to raise the potential of Thailand.

The roles of the RAAS are research and development (R&D), creating innovation, and creating key personnel while our group supports community, private section, and government section. The RAAS research group is a multidisciplinary group which comprises of researchers and experts in various fields of engineering. Our research area and expertise are the following.
