The Civil Engineering Library holds valuable documents of civil engineering works in Japan from the Taisho to the early Showa period. This panel exhibits blueprints and completion photographs of Sumida River bridges, which were reconstructed by a team of young engineers led by our graduates after the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake.
The group of bridges in different structural forms became a symbol of Tokyo’s reconstruction, and the project paved the way for later development of long-span bridge technology in Japan.
The Department of Civil Engineering offers a project course for freshmen in which students collaboratively build a large-scale model for one of the Sumida River bridges from its original blueprints. The course provides students with practical opportunities to learn civil engineering design and cooperative project implementation.
