Research Interest

(1) Hybrid testing technology

Mainly engaged in the research of network-based distributed substructure hybrid testing methods. He conducted tests of steel structure between the United States, Japan, and China. Two hybrid test systems are creatively proposed, namely, the separation model framework and the P2P substructure framework. He completed seismic simulation tests on reinforced masonry, high pier and large span bridges, reinforced masonry, and new concrete core tubes, providing important basis for their engineering applications.

(2) Damage control of high-rise buildings

The theory and practical design methods are proposed for energy dissipation coupling beams and energy dissipation wall limbs to control the failure mode of high-rise buildings, achieving the functional recovery after earthquakes. By optimizing the arrangement of dampers, the structural fortification level can be significantly improved.

(3) Industrial facility vibration reduction and isolation protection technology

The three-dimensional isolation system and its theory for nuclear power plants were proposed in China, and a new type of three-dimensional isolation support was invented to conduct experiments on isolation containment structures.

(4) Seismic resilience assessment engineering systems

Using methods and techniques of system theory and disaster science, seismic assessment is conducted on functional building clusters (hospitals, industrial buildings, etc.) and civil buildings in urban and rural areas. With the preservation of their building functions, probabilistic vulnerability indicators are used to evaluate their economic losses, casualties, and recovery time.
