About the Lab
Professor Iksung Kang's research lab specializes in structural engineering with a focus on enhancing the seismic performance and durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The lab investigates advanced construction materials such as polymer mortar systems—including fiber-reinforced and hybrid systems with steel mesh—to improve shear resistance, energy dissipation, and crack control under cyclic loading. Another key research direction involves neuromuscular rehabilitation, particularly the impact of proximal stability on upper extremity function recovery in stroke patients, using clinical assessments and targeted physical therapy interventions. The lab combines experimental testing with clinical evaluation to develop innovative solutions for structural resilience and post-stroke functional recovery.

5A series of static cyclic loading tests were carried out to investigate the shear behavior and performance of RC beams with three different polymer mortar systems: (1) a (typical) polymer mortar without fibers, (2) a short-fiber reinforced polymer mortar, and (3) a hybrid polymer mortar incorporating honeycomb steel mesh (HPM). The effectiveness of the three different systems under static cyclic loading was investigated through the crack patterns, failure modes, and load-deflection curves of the
Purpose The purpose of the this study is to find out the effect of proximal stability following change upper extremity function of the patients with stroke. Methods The subject of this study was a patient with stroke who has been treated in department of physical therapy, Bucheon-Korea Su Hospital. Evaluation tool were used Grooved pegboard, MFT, 9-holes pegboard test. For the four weeks the subject was treated 30 minutes per session, five times per week. Results The grooved pegboard test was in
