On July 10, 2019, from 8:30 to 10:00 am, Professor Qinli Dai of Michigan Technological University gave an academic report titled "Fiber-Reinforced Normal and Self-Compacting Rubber Concrete" in the second conference room on the third floor of the Highway College. The report was hosted by Associate Professor Liu Yu, and more than 20 teachers and students attended the report.
Professor Qingli Dai's report is divided into two parts: The first part details the research methods and research needs of fiber-reinforced cement concrete, focusing on the mechanism of action of rubber particles and fibers in concrete; the second part describes self-compacting Research on the performance of cement concrete. In the interactive session, Professor Qingli Dai answered the questions of teachers and students in detail and explained the role of rubber particles and the characteristics of fibers in cement concrete, which inspired the teachers and students.
In this academic report, Professor Qingli Dai conveyed the academic frontier dynamics and innovative academic ideas of fiber-reinforced concrete and self-compacting cement concrete through in-depth and clear-cut speeches, which benefited the teachers and students who participated in the academic report.
Dr. Qingli Dai is currently a professor of civil and environmental science at the Michigan Institute of Technology. He received his master's degree in engineering mechanics from Zhejiang University and a Ph.D. in applied mechanics from Rhode Island University. Professor Dai and his research team have long been committed to structural materials characterization and design, long-term monitoring and life prediction of civil structures and infrastructure; self-repairing capabilities, damage mechanism diagnosis and multiphysics coupling analysis of asphalt and cement concrete materials He has achieved fruitful research results and published more than 100 academic papers (including more than 70 articles in SCI). Professor Dai is the Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering; serves as a member of the ASCE Road Engineering Committee, a member of the Asphalt Committee and a member of the Particle Materials Committee; a member of the ACI201, ACI130 and ACI228 committees of the American Concrete Institute; Fund committee project review expert; former chairman of the ASCE meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Professor Dai has long worked with the National Science Foundation, the Michigan Department of Environmental Protection, and the US Department of Transportation.
