On October 12, Nie Jianguo, an academician of the CAE Member and professor of Tsinghua University, was invited to guide the work of steel structures in Central South China, accompanied by Wang Haishan, executive vice president, Zhang Ke, president of the Design and Research Institute and other leaders.
This time, Academician Nie vividly taught the employees the special topic of "Innovation and Practice of Prefabricated Structures", with "steel-concrete composite structures and their applications" as the introduction theme. He explored the specific connotation of high-performance structures from the mechanical properties of engineering structures, the shortcomings of traditional steel structures and concrete structures, and analyzed and compared the technical and economic performance of pure steel structures, concrete structures, and steel-concrete composite structures. Through a large number of engineering examples, he gave wonderful lectures to employees from the aspects of "current problems", "countermeasures and measures", "innovation and practice", "prospects of prefabricated buildings", etc.
He stated that technological innovation is the fundamental way to solve the problems existing in the current field of building structures, and it is an unremitting driving force to promote the sustainable development of high-performance building structures. It is necessary to combine needs, highlight characteristics, and solve problems. Innovation should not be pursued for the sake of innovation, and problems should not be created without problems. He emphasized that technological innovation in engineering structures should originate from engineering, service engineering, and leading engineering, and hoped that all employees would adhere to the belief of "not only books, not superior, not exclusive, not exclusive, and only practical".
During the two-hour lecture, Academician Nie used a humorous, witty, and easy to understand teaching method to enable employees to quickly understand the application of the "steel-concrete composite panel bridge" technology, which is characterized by "lightweight large-span, prefabricated assembly, and rapid construction" and is applied in various large-scale bridge constructions throughout the country.
Through this lecture, we hope that employees will carefully digest the content and leverage the high-level research advantages of Academician Nie to transform and implement his excellent research results and valuable experience into future work practice.
