Shaanxi Construction Engineering: "Scientists + Engineers" Team Tackles Key Technologies of Prefabricated Buildings

"Since the project of 'New System and Seismic Research of High-rise Prefabricated Composite Structures' was signed in October last year, we have worked closely with the team of Professor Sun Qing from the School of Habitat of Xi'an Jiaotong University. Actively carry out research on high-performance innovation system of high-rise prefabricated composite structures and key technologies for seismic design. Currently, 1 patent has been declared and 1 paper has been published. " A few days ago, Zhao Bingzhen, deputy director of the Office of the Joint Research Center for Future Urban Construction and Management Innovation of Xi'an Jiaotong University of Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group (hereinafter referred to as the Joint Research Center), said.

Since the launch of the project, Zhao Bingzhen and his colleagues have put forward the problems encountered in engineering practice, and Professor Sun Qing's team will "take the pulse" of the project development direction and research and development work based on specific projects. "Our 4 engineers and 12 professors and graduate students from Xi'an Jiaotong University formed a team, hoping to make full use of the engineering characteristics of composite structures and prefabricated structures to solve the problems of traditional prefabricated concrete structures, such as self-heavy and complex construction. Improve the life cycle performance of prefabricated buildings and promote the innovation and development of building industrialization. " Zhao Bingzhen said.

It is understood that the team participated by Professor Sun Qing and Dr. Zhao Bingzhen is one of the 15 "scientist + engineer" teams formed by the Joint Research Center. In August last year, the Joint Research Center released a total of 36 scientific research topics in 12 directions for the whole country in batches, involving frontier industries such as prefabricated buildings and smart construction, and finally 15 topics were signed and approved. At present, each research group has formed a "scientist + engineer" team.

In November last year, Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group and Mark Jian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Spatial Structure Research Center of Guizhou University, signed a strategic cooperation agreement for industry-university-research applications to jointly build a workstation for academician Mark Jian. A "scientist + engineer" team is formed to develop key technologies, explore and build a complete industrial chain integrating development, consulting, design, processing, installation and service, and promote the industrialization of related technologies.

Shi Wei, chief engineer of Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd., said that the 'scientist + engineer' model in which corporate engineers propose scientific research projects and scientists from scientific research institutions such as universities to conduct targeted research is an effective way to improve the transformation of scientific research results. This can not only encourage enterprises to participate in technological research and continuously enhance their innovation capabilities, but also allow intellectual resources to accurately respond to the technical needs of the industrial chain and innovation chain, and efficiently transform scientific research results into productivity.
