Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
KAP 203, 2:30pm-3:30pm
February 1, 2007Speaker:
Jianguo Nie, Professor
Tsinghua University
Beijing, ChinaAbstract
Using the combined advantages of both steel and concrete materials, the steel-concrete composite system is a popular type of structure used in both buildings and bridges in China. In this seminar, general information of building and bridge construction in China will be introduced. Then the recent research in new types of connections of steel-concrete composite beams and columns will be presented. Innovative applications of composite system in the repairs/strengthening of bridges and buildings will also be presented.Dr. Jianguo Nie is a Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University, China. He is currently holding the title of Cheung Kong Scholar, a high prestigious title awarded by the Chinese Ministry of Education. He is the Director of Research Institute of Structural Engineering at Tsinghua University, and the Director of Key Laboratory of Structural Engineering and Vibration of China Education Ministry, Tsinghua University. Dr. Nie's major research interests are steel-concrete composite structures, strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures, and applications of steel-concrete composite structures to building and bridge systems. Prof. Nie has more than 20 years of experience in research and directing students in these research areas and has published more than 150 papers and 2 books.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 203
