Brief Introduction to Research Interests and

Academic

Achievements

As project leader, utilized self-developed finite element programs to complete key research on temperature control and crack prevention during construction for major national Western Development projects, including the Kala Suk RCC gravity dam in Xinjiang, the Burqin Shankou arch dam, and the Ming River aqueduct of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Led the team in long-term site assignments to research and solve complex engineering challenges, providing on-site guidance for project construction with excellent results. The relevant achievements have been successfully promoted and applied across China. 

As project leader, oversaw technical consultation and construction for the asphalt concrete slab supply and partial slope placement at the upper reservoir of the Hohhot Pumped Storage Power Station in Inner Mongolia, and the application research of acidic aggregate for the asphalt slabs at the upper reservoir of the Shandong Yimeng Pumped Storage project. The team under his leadership was awarded the "Advanced Quality Team" honor in 2012 by Three Gorges Group's Hohhot Company. Individually, he was awarded the "Outstanding Builder" honor in 2013 by China Three Gorges Corporation. As the first asphalt concrete face rockfill dam in China's severe cold region, it features a total asphalt impervious area of 244,800 m2. The design index for the low-temperature fracture temperature of the impervious layer asphalt concrete was≤-45°C.After commissioning, the upper reservoir asphalt concrete panels have been completely watertight. This project filled the domestic technological gap for full reservoir asphalt concrete impervious systems in pumped storage power stations located in high-cold regions. 

As lead or key participant, completed the development and promotion of technologies including repair, protection, and roughness reduction for increased flow capacity in large and medium-sized canal aqueducts; carbon fiber reinforcement technology for broken wires in PCCP pipes; and the development and application of SK single-component polyurea and YEC epoxy coatings. These new products and technologies have been successfully applied in hundreds of water resources and hydropower projects. Several of these technologies have been incorporated into relevant technical specifications and included in the Ministry of Water Resources' Science and Technology Promotion Catalog.
